Flash Cards
This fascinating game will help you quickly develop your vocabulary and considerably
advance in learning new words. Our method is simple: learn new words while playing
Flash Cards.
The face of a card shows the source word translation/explanation, and the reverse
side shows the source word. The player browses the cards and, whenever necessary,
uses a hint.
There are 20 pre-defined card sets in this game. Besides, you can create your own
sets. The goal is to learn all cards in the set. You will be prompted to proceed to the
next set once you have finished the current one.
The game statistics is stored in the device memory so you can resume playing from
where you left off.
• Tap
on the toolbar, or press
. Then select Exercises in the appeared
menu. You will see the Exercises section of the Main Menu.
• Tap the Flash Cards icon. The game will begin.
The Flash Cards screen with the first card from the first set will be shown. By default,
you can select up to 20 pre-defined sets. If you want to create your personal sets of
flash cards, please refer to the Dictionary Setup section.
The number of unlearned cards in a set is recorded for each game. This information is
displayed on the screen. For example, Left: 10 means you have 10 cards unlearned.

• To go to the next card, tap Next.
• Select the Always show translation option to have the program show you the source
word in each card.
• Alternatively, tap on the Show translation message to see the source word. To hide
the source word, just tap on it.
You may quit the game and resume playing at any time. Just launch Flash Cards to
continue playing from where you left off.
Pockets
This is a traditional game targeting in-depth word learning. In this game, the same
cards as those used in the Flash Cards game are divided into 4 groups (4 pockets). At
the beginning of the game all cards are located in the first pocket. You turn the cards
one by one and, if you know the hidden source word, put the card in the second
pocket. Keep browsing until all the cards from the first pocket are moved to the second
pocket.
At the second stage you move the cards to the third pocket and, again, if you know the
hidden source word, put the card in the next pocket. If you cannot recall the hidden
source word, move the card back to the first pocket.
