Sharing Flash Card Decks

Flash Cards enable spaced repetition learning and help encapsulate sessions and chapters during language learning. With a focus on collaboration, a simple plaintext approach to building decks allows for collaboration and dictionary matching upon import.

Flash cards have long been a staple in language learning, offering a compact and effective method for memorizing vocabulary, phrases, and sentences. Our vocabulary decks focus on collaboration; a simple plaintext format facilitates ease of creation and modification of decks and hopefully encourages sharing.

Community decks are supported from version 1.2.0 onwards of the SakeSaySo app. Decks at a glance:

  • Plaintext Format for Easy Editing and Sharing
  • Import and Export Capabilities
  • Dictionary Matching: optional, automatic dictionary matching enriches a deck entry with definitions, usage examples, other dictionary cross-references.
  • Flash Cards with adaptive SM-2 spaced repetition

The driving force behind Vocabulary Decks is the belief that language learning is a collective endeavor. By making deck sharing effortless, we aim to cultivate a learning environment where individuals can contribute to and benefit from others.

You can find community decks in the community section of the app, they’re indexed from the community repository where contributions can be made. See the format specification for more details on format and the import and export section for how to share and import decks.
