The face of a card shows the source word translation, and the 
reverse side shows the source word. The player browses the 
cards and, whenever necessary, uses a hint. 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. 
• In 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. For information on how to create your personal sets of 
flash cards, please refer to the 

Adding Entries to Flash Cards 

chapter

.

 

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. 

• Tap the 

Drop

 button to set a card apart. 

• 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.
