Understanding the Template

The inContext Anki Card

Years of language learning experience have given us the insight into how to design a great Anki card.

Front: Vocab in Context

Learning occurs best when your brain knows the context. That's why on the front to the card we show the context sentence with the target word bolded. It's your job to remember the meaning of the word in this context.

Back: Personalized inContext Definition

See your personalized definition, inContext info, and source link of the original word.
