How these cards work
Define cards carry a term on the front and its definition on the back. Check cards carry a question with a short written answer, one per lesson; write the answer out before turning the card over. Spot the error cards carry an inaccurate statement on the front for you to correct.
Your card schedule is kept in this browser, on this device, unless you sign in, just like the revision checklist. For Anki, the same cards are available as free Anki decks, one per unit.
