What the cards show

Each card shows the word you are learning and its translation. You choose what else it shows, and on which side:

Romanization
The word in Latin letters: Hepburn (Japanese), pinyin (Chinese), Revised Romanization (Korean), ALA-LC (Arabic), transliteration (Russian, Ukrainian, Armenian, Greek). For Chinese it also controls pinyin in example sentences.
Measure word / counter
The classifier used when counting this noun (一本书, 鉛筆を三本, ba con mèo).
Key forms
The few forms you need to use the word: plural, genitive, past tense, aspect partner, verb class… not full tables.
Examples
Example sentences with the word highlighted. Use the slider to choose how many (0–3).
Example translations
Shows each example in your language when a matching translation exists. Some examples are written natively and have no translation.
Antonyms & related
Opposites and closely related words, in the language you are learning.
Part of speech
noun, verb, adjective…
Register
Marks informal, formal, vulgar or offensive words.
Emoji
A picture hint for concrete words (💧 water). Most abstract words have none.
Concept ID
A tiny code at the bottom of the card (e.g. word-water). If you find a mistake while studying in Anki, include this code in your report so we can find the exact entry.
Reverse cards
Adds a second card per word: your language → the language you learn. On reverse cards everything about the learned word moves to the answer side so nothing gives the answer away.
Type the answer
On reverse cards you type the word instead of just recalling it. Anki compares your spelling with the main form (articles included, stress and vowel marks ignored).

Card captions, such as “أمثلة”, are in Arabic.

How it works

  1. Choose the modules you want. Each one shows how many words it has for your pair.
  2. Choose what each card shows, and on which side. The preview shows real cards as you go.
  3. Download the .apkg file and open it with Anki (File → Import), or tap it on your phone to open it in AnkiDroid.

Changed fields, added modules, or want newer data? Download again and import the new file into Anki (File → Import) with the default options. Anki updates your existing notes and their layout, adds new words to the same deck, and keeps your review progress.

About the vocabulary

Words, translations and example sentences were drafted with an AI model and are being checked by people, language by language. If something looks wrong, select it on a preview card in AnkiGen and press Ctrl+Enter (⌘+Enter on a Mac), or use the Feedback button there. Every report helps fix the deck for everyone.
