abstract = {One of the major problems of teaching a course on formal languages and automata theory is that the
students perceive it as too theoretical, dry and difficult. Although it is possible to give a more practical
approach by using examples and solving exercises, these tend to be long and tedious. In this paper
we present ``Thoth'' - a new tool for learning formal languages and automata (downloadable at
urlhttp://pisuerga.inf.ubu.es/cgosorio/THOTH/). This first version is mainly limited to finite automata and
regular languages and grammars, but some functionality of generating LL(1) tables for context free
grammars has been included as well. Although there are other tools that cover a broader range of
subjects of the formal languages and automata field, the advantage of Thoth over them is the user
interface. In Thoth is possible to design an automaton using simple mouse operations. All the
elements can be moved around to make the design more clear and it is possible as well to
automatically distribute them. Besides, Thoth has born with the ambition of being international, the
interface is prepared for four languages: Spanish, English, French and German, and the aspiration of
growing up and include other kinds of devices as ``push down automata'' and ``Turing machines''.},
