Sentence Flashcards - Vocab

Learn every word together with the sentence it lives in. Sentence Flashcards brings real example sentences from Tatoeba, the multilingual sentence collection, with translations into your language, and drills them with spaced-repetition cards, cloze tests and text-to-speech. 62 languages, any pair, and no caps on sentences, pairs or daily reviews.

WHO IT'S FOR
• You know a word from a list but lose it in a real sentence
• You want to learn how a word is used, not just what it means
• You want to keep sentences from class, textbooks or travel

HOW IT WORKS
Pick your language, the one you're learning, a level and how many new sentences to start each day. The first sentences arrive automatically, and the home screen shows what's due today and about how long it takes. The "+" button adds a batch, searches by word, lets you write your own or imports a CSV.

KEY FEATURES

Real sentences from Tatoeba
Only translations made directly from the original are used, so meaning doesn't drift. Unapproved and ownerless sentences are left out. Choose Starter to Advanced, or native speakers only. Add a batch with one tap or let the app top up when you run low.

Any number of language pairs
Switch pairs from the home screen; each shows roughly how many sentences Tatoeba has for it.

Search by word
Search Tatoeba for a word, compare sentences that use it and add them one by one or all at once. "Don't show again" keeps a sentence out for good.

Tap any word
Hear it, look it up in a dictionary or find other sentences with it. Make it the focus word to highlight it and hide it in cloze tests.

Spaced-repetition cards
Review only what is due. Answer Again, Hard, Good or Easy; each button shows when the card returns. Study sentence → meaning, meaning → sentence or mixed, undo a mis-tap, set new sentences per day, retire mastered sentences and see the next 7 days.

Cloze and practice
Pick the hidden focus word from four choices. Practice drills as often as you like without moving your schedule.

Speech, furigana and pinyin
Your device's voice reads sentences at 0.5× to 1.5× speed. Japanese can show furigana, Chinese can show pinyin.

Your own sentences
Add sentences with a translation and notes. Draft the translation with on-device translation; your text never leaves the phone (about 30 MB of language data is downloaded on first use). CSV import reads Anki text exports and Tatoeba sentence-pair files.

Organize
Decks, tags, notes and favorites. Search, filter, sort, hide learned sentences and long-press to act on many at once.

Stats
Streaks, charts, a calendar, progress per deck, frequent words and your hardest sentences.

Reminders and widget
A review reminder (only when reviews are left), a morning sentence of the day and a sentence-of-the-day widget.

Credits on every sentence
Each sentence shows its Tatoeba number, owner and license, and opens on Tatoeba. Edited sentences are marked.

Backup
Manual backup plus a daily automatic backup to a folder you choose. Restores can be undone. Also CSV export, light and dark themes, screenshot blocking and tablet layouts.
