Software to record multiple tracks into apart mp3s at once?

Hello everyone, this is my first post.

I see quite a lot of useful knowledge being exchanged here, so I think I've come to the right place for some expert advice. Cool.

What I'd like to know and why:
I've devised my own method for learning foreign languages.
It goes like this: say I take a workbook with a nice, useful French dialogue.
I then record a sentence in French (say "Nous devons acheter des tickets") followed by a translation in a language I already speak (say "We have to buy tickets").
The way I've been doing it so far is record a bunch of sentences this way and then record them in a single (and rather long) mp3 file (LAME + Audacity).
Than I just put those on my mp3 player instead of music (I'm sick, I know).
Problem is, if you record a custom 15 minute lesson like this, you fall asleep quickly because it's akin to rote learning.
What I'd like to do is record each sentence (plus translation) in a single file (hence 1 file = 1 sentence in two languages).
This way I'd be able to put shuffle on and brace myself for randomized expressions attacking me out of the blue, which - for a homebrewed method - is a pretty darn good simulation of what real-life language interaction looks like).
Based on my experience I think it would work like a charm, but:

I need software that would let me do this = record multiple (short) mp3 files at once, either:
a) By letting me record a single track, and then exporting it at the push of a button, without having to meddle with the options.
b) By first letting me record a bunch of tracks with each track representing a sentence and its translation, and then easily (prefereably at the push of a button) record each one of them to mp3 (don't need fancy names, might as well be 001.mp3, 002.mp3 etc.).

Any ideas?
Help appreciated, cause in exchange you get a sweet method for learning foreign lingos, if you can be arsed and devote the time, that is.
And I've already described it really =)

Cheers,
