Language flashcards from your own course book and class notes

Why your course's words beat a generic list

Frequency lists and premade decks are a good start, but your course has its own order, its own topics and its own example sentences. Cards made from your chapters arrive in the order you meet the words in class, with the sentence they appeared in.

Both directions

Recognising a word and producing it are different skills. FlashCardz tests both: from the language you're learning to yours, and back again, so the word is there when you need to say it, not just when you see it.

Grammar in context

Grammar rules stick better with examples. Cards ask you to apply a rule to a sentence, contrast two forms that are easy to mix up, or explain why a sentence uses one tense and not another, each linked to the page of your book that explains it.

Words that are easy to mix up

False friends, words that differ by one letter, verbs that take a different preposition: these are where marks are lost. FlashCardz gives pairs like these a card that asks for the difference, so you learn to tell them apart instead of learning each one alone and confusing them later.

Spaced repetition for vocabulary

Vocabulary is where spacing pays off most: hundreds of small items, each needing a few well-timed reviews to stick. Spaced repetition brings each word back just before you'd forget it, and a few minutes a day is enough.

A routine that works

• Add each chapter as your class reaches it, so new words arrive in the order you meet them.
• Review every day, even for five minutes: vocabulary fades fastest in the first few days.
• Say the answer out loud before you turn the card. Producing a word is the skill you'll need.
• When a word keeps slipping, read the sentence it came from: one tap opens the page.
