Can I change what the flashcard shows?

Short answer

Yes, in Settings – Study. Direction decides which language leads, native first for active recall or foreign first for recognition, and Show decides whether the card shows the full sentence or the word alone.

You can customise the flashcard experience in Settings:

  • Direction: Native language first is good for practising recall (active vocabulary). Foreign language first is good for practising recognition (passive vocabulary).
  • Show: Word only, or the Full example sentence.

There is a third direction. Random mode shuffles which side leads from card to card, so you cannot coast on knowing where the answer sits.

Two more things ride along on the card. For languages that give nouns a gender, a small article pill sits beside the word. And the word’s own tags are printed in small grey text under the card, with the system tags deliberately left out.
