Flash Cards that play four ways
You build one deck of two-sided cards, and four self-marking activities come out of it. The same deck plays live in the lesson, goes home as homework, or opens from a link.

The term goes on one side, and the translation, the definition or a picture on the other. Suggestions come up while you type. Add an image where words won't do, and audio on either side, read aloud in eight languages or recorded in your own voice.
- Suggestions as you type. The term field looks the word up for you, so a deck of thirty takes a few minutes.
- Audio on both sides. Useful when a word is easier heard than read, and for anything your student has to say out loud.
- Or have the assistant draft it. Give it a topic or a chapter of a PDF and approve the deck it hands back.
Four ways to practise the same cards
Every deck comes with four activities already built out of it, and each one marks itself. Flip a card and check yourself. Pick the right answer from the other cards in the deck. Type the word in its own language. Rebuild it from shuffled letters. Switch off the ones you don't want.
- Four ways is what makes it stick. Flipping through a deck is recognising a word. Typing it from memory is remembering it.
- Hints instead of dead ends. A letter at a time on the typing tasks, half the wrong answers gone on the quiz.
- All four on every plan. How your students practise is not the part we put behind a paywall.
It plays inside the lesson
Open a deck mid-lesson and it appears on every screen in the room, in the same window the lesson is already in. Nobody reads out a game code, nobody opens a second app, and you are not sharing your screen at them.
- Everyone answers on their own screen. In a one-to-one that means she is doing it, not watching you do it.
- You can see how it's going. Switch between students and watch the results fill in as they answer.
- Live play works on every plan. One-to-one lessons run on Free; bigger groups come with a paid plan.
The same deck goes home
Set the deck as homework and it marks itself. Each student's score comes back with what they got right, what they got wrong and what they skipped, so you know before you teach them again. Or send a link that opens in a browser with no account.
- Nothing to mark in the evening. Every one of the four activities is checked automatically.
- A link needs no sign-up. Handy for a trial student, or a parent who wants to see what a lesson involves.
- Homework and links start on Solo Max. Building decks and playing them in the lesson do not.
Not only vocabulary
A card is a question with the answer on the back, so it takes anything you would otherwise drill on paper. Irregular verbs, yes, but also formulas, dates, case names, chemical symbols and the terminology an examiner expects to see.
- Maths and science. The formula on one side, what it's for on the other. An image carries the notation where text can't.
- Exam terminology. The words that earn marks, drilled until they turn up without being hunted for.
- Any language you teach. Eight languages for the audio, and the typing check knows which one it is marking.
