How to "Add our App to Your Home Screen" for quick access. See the instructions below!
Language Settings
Configure your native language and the languages you want to learn. This is essential for the app to work properly!
Important:
You must set your language preferences before using flashcards or quizzes. The app needs to know:
- Your native language (the language you know best)
- The language(s) you want to learn
How to Set Your Languages
- Click "Settings" from the home page or top navigation
- Select your Native Language from the dropdown (e.g., German, English)
- Check the boxes for languages you want to learn
- Click "Save Changes" to apply your preferences
What This Does
- • Flashcards will show: Your Native Language → Learning Language
- • Quizzes test you in the correct direction
- • Settings apply across the entire app
- • No need to select languages on each page
Example
If your native language is German and you're learning English:
- ✓ Flashcards show: German word → English translation
- ✓ Quizzes ask: What is the English word for 'Hallo'?
- ✓ Audio plays in both languages
Auto-Selection (2 Languages Only)
If the app only has 2 languages and you haven't set your learning language yet, it automatically uses the other language. But we recommend setting it properly in Settings!
Pro Tip: You can always change your language preferences in Settings. Your learning progress is saved regardless of language changes!
