Presenting your ideas as mind maps is nothing new, but you can also use a mind mapping application to create "glossary maps" that can come in handy when learning new words and phrases. To create a "glossary map," you need FreeMind, an open source mind mapping application that has all the features you need. How you organize glossary maps is up to you; you can, for example, map words and phrases thematically: Restaurant, Taxi, Weather, etc. Let's say you want to create a glossary map containing food-related words. Create a new mind map in FreeMind, and type "FOOD" into the root node. Now add nodes for each desired category such as Meat, Vegetables, Fruit, Fish, and so on. For each category, add nodes with words, where each word has a sub-node with its translation (use the Insert key to quickly add nodes and sub-nodes). If you want to test your knowledge, select the category you want and fold all nodes in it (Navigate -> Fold All). Now select a word and give its translation. To see whether your answer is correct, unfold the word's sub-node by pressing the Space key.
