How flashcards work
A set is a group of words and phrases, usually on one topic. A card has the word, a definition in English and usually a Russian translation.
Cards
Turn the card, listen to the word, then mark it Know or Still learning.
Choose
See the word and pick its definition from up to four, or the other way round.
Write
Read the definition or the Russian translation and type the word in English. A wrong answer comes back later in the round.
