To make it more challenging, I set the quiz to recall mode instead of the default recognition mode, and I cover the answers so that I can mentally arrive at the right answer without seeing it first. Finally, Byki gives you a ‘quiz’ on all the cards, but the quiz is kind of a joke since it’s multiple choice with only four choices. Byki uses sort of a crude spaced-repetition alogorithm for this part, where you tell it if you got the card right and it keeps bringing the card back until you’ve gotten it right 7 times. Second, you test yourself in both recognition and then recall mode. First, you are allowed to freely browse the cards in recognition mode (it shows you a word, and you flip the card to reveal the definition and a photo). I’ve found that hearing the pronunciation as I study the card increases my retention rate, and also helps to build the sound-meaning connection, which is crucial for listening comprehension.īyki moves you through 3 stages of reviewing the cards. All the words are spoken clearly by a woman with a ‘neutral’ Brazilian dialect, and there’s an option to slow them down which works very well. The audio pronunciations in Byki are of very high quality. The are on topics like vegetables, family relations, travel, and include simple phrases, verbs, and nouns. It comes with a quite extensive collection of pre-made decks that are well suited to beginner-intermediate vocabulary learning.

Bykiīyki is available as desktop software and as a more limited iphone app. Before I discuss my favorite vocabulary trainer Anki, let me at least mention a few other flashcard systems out there, and why I mostly prefer using Anki.
