In a two-dimensional LC system configured to introduce components trapped in a trap column during a fractionation period T into a second-dimension column, separate components, and then detect the components using a mass spectrometer, a data collection unit receives a signal which indicates timing to delimit the fractionation period T, determines the first data item in the fractionation period T, adds measurement start point identification information to the first data item, and stores all the data in a data storage unit. A two-dimensional chromatogram creation unit recognizes the first data item in each fractionation period T from the read data, and create a two-dimensional chromatogram by aligning data so that the first data items will be aligned at the top along an abscissa.

The present invention relates to a language learning system utilizing a component unit more segmented than a phoneme or utilizing various games. The language learning system utilizes several characters as a unit more segmented than a phoneme with respect to morphology learning, and a phoneme as a unit more segmented than a syllable with respect to pronunciation learning. Users can learn a language from the segmented unit to a larger unit such as a syllable, a word and a sentence through the learning system. In addition, the language learning system provides various games to users intending to learn a language by allowing the users to notice positive effects rather than negative effects provided by a game. The games assist users in constructing a phoneme, a syllable, a word, a sentence and the like and assists in connecting a character to a pronunciation, meaning and the like.
