Flash cards

Pick a set, look at the character, then tap the card to flip it. The back tells you what the character is called, how it sounds, and gives you a word that uses it and a short sentence.

The same sets as the Study Room

Japanese cards follow the JLPT levels, N5 to N1, with every hiragana and katakana at N5. Chinese cards follow HSK 3.0, from HSK 1 to HSK 7–9. Thai, Vietnamese and English follow the order the games teach them. Every card has a speaker button, and flipping a card plays its sound.

Words and sentences

The beginner sets carry a hand-written example on the back: Thai consonants use the word in the letter's own name — ก is ko kai, so the example is ไก่, chicken, in a sentence about a rooster. Hiragana, the N5 kanji, the Vietnamese letters and the English alphabet each come with a word and a simple sentence. Every Chinese character comes with a word from the HSK vocabulary that uses it, with pinyin and a meaning.

Again, or got it

Mark a card Got it and it leaves the pile; mark it Again and it comes back a few cards later, so the ones you miss keep returning until they stick. On a keyboard, Space flips the card, the arrow keys move, and A and G grade it.
