WeSay is a nice implementation of Moe's method that can be used by literate
native speakers -- it also enables audio recording of words and example
sentences.

Monolingual defining was a method much favoured by the late Ken Hale as a
way to generate more vocabulary and has been used by successfully by
several people I know.
