Another Idea is to reimplement Dasher... which is desinged for such
devices. You dont have to use the input method they use... the
sidescroll game is not that usefull I think ;) but the way it learns is
really fast and often meets the expectations. And its open source. The
good thing about Dasher is that you can give any txt file as a learning
resource so it should be languageindependent. but just have a look at
it... its in the repos of Ubuntu and you can find it here:

Information: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dasher
Try a webbrowser Java version:

Or just look at it while someone else is writing:
