このデッキについて
Beginners in Italian usually stall in the same place. The English meaning is easy to recall, and then the sentence falls apart because the noun's gender was never learnt with it, or the verb turned out to be irregular exactly where it mattered. La mano ends in o and is feminine. Il braccio has a feminine plural. Piacere puts the thing you like in the subject position, which is why mi piacciono i film has a plural verb. So every card here carries three lines instead of a translation. "Meaning" gives the English sense. "Grammar" gives what you need to use the word: gender and plural for a noun, conjugation class and irregularity for a verb, agreement for an adjective. "Example" is a short Italian sentence with its English translation, so the word is never learnt alone. Nouns always appear with their article, because in Italian the article is part of knowing the word. The 300 words are cut into six sections: people and daily life, food and shopping, places and travel, core verbs, describing and connecting, and time, numbers and everyday phrases. The verb section covers essere and avere, the three regular conjugations, the common irregulars, reflexives and modals, plus the basics of how tenses are formed. That is the level the Council of Europe describes as A1: personal information, routine situations and memorised phrases. Once the deck is on a spaced-repetition schedule, the words that have stuck stop appearing and the irregular ones keep coming back until they do not need thinking about.
よくある質問
- What is on the back of each card?
- Three labelled lines. "Meaning" gives the English sense, "Grammar" gives the gender and plural for nouns or the conjugation and irregularities for verbs, and "Example" gives a short Italian sentence followed by its English translation. Nouns are always shown with the definite article, so you learn la casa rather than casa.
- Do I need to know any Italian to start?
- No. The deck starts from the most basic vocabulary and includes the grammar terms you need as cards of their own, such as the present tense, the compound past, the choice between avere and essere, and how reflexive verbs work. It is written for English speakers, so every explanation and example is glossed in English.
- How is this different from a word list?
- A list gives you a translation pair, which is enough to recognise a word and not enough to produce one. Each card here adds the grammatical information that decides whether your sentence is correct and an example that shows the word in use. That is why the deck is 300 words rather than 3,000: each one is learnt in a usable form.
- Can I import the whole deck on the free plan?
- Yes. Importing a saved deck runs no new AI generation and spends no AI credits, so the free plan imports all 300 cards. You can study, edit and delete them afterwards.
- Will importing it twice create duplicates?
- No. Cards you already have are skipped and only cards added in a revision come through. Including re-imports after deleting it, one official deck can be imported three times per account.
- Can I use it on the web and in the mobile app?
- Yes. The deck is added to your account rather than to a device, so the same cards and the same progress are there on the web, on iOS and on Android.
- Can I edit the cards after importing?
- Yes. Imported cards are yours: you can edit both sides, delete cards you do not need, change tags, and move cards to another deck.
