Good to know
- Many words appear in more than one deck. Each level deck includes the levels below it, so pick one level.
- The text, pictures and voices are all AI-generated, so some cards will have mistakes.
- The film decks quote lines from the films’ subtitles, with a word-for-word translation, for study.
- Please don’t sell the decks. Some of the data they’re built on doesn’t allow it (see the credits).
