Learn

A free course, with no account and no login. Five levels of nine short lessons and a review — a few minutes each, and you can read a real sentence after the first one.

Each lesson gives you a handful of new words, sometimes sends you off to read one page of grammar, and then hands you a small deck of flashcards. You say the answer out loud, turn the card over, and mark yourself. Nothing is locked: start anywhere, and come back to any lesson as often as you like.

SRS decks

The whole course as flashcards, for an app that schedules them for you. Mochi imports the Markdown file; ask for === between cards and --- between sides. Anki imports the tab-separated one. Each card is one word or sentence, so pick a two-sided template — Anki's Basic (and reversed card) — to drill both directions, the way the lessons here do.
