A list is a list of cards or other lists arranged in a tree structure. A list always has only one parent, or it is a root level list that is shown on the dashboard.

Lists can be shared with others and lists with parents inherit the sharing status of there parent (unless they are marked as private).

Lists can be organized on the dashboard page by dragging and dropping them into place. Keep in mind that as you move them around under other lists that you may be changing the sharing status.

A card is like a flash card. It has a front and a back. Audio can be associated with either the front or back or both. Cards can have example cards but not lists. A card can be included in multiple lists, and or be examples to multiple cards.

For example: You might have a verb conjugation card that has several example sentences attached to it. Those sentences might also be good examples for other words in that sentence.

Your card could also be part of a list of conjugations for a verb, but you might also want to put it on a list of questions for a tutor or teacher, if you are unsure about it.

A parent card is a card that your card is attached to as an example. A card can have multiple parents, which just means it can be an example for multiple cards.

It is even possible for a card to be a parent or grand parent of itself. While this doesn't seem useful, you don't have to worry about it happening.

Lists can be shared with friends.

View the list you want to share and then click share. You will then enter the email address of the person with whom you would like to share this list. Note that sharing the list will also share all lists or cards attached to the list, unless they are marked as private.

Also note that later moving lists under the shared list, or assigning cards to it or subordinate lists will also share those lists.

Public lists are like shared lists but they are shared with everyone.

Only administrators can create public lists.

Friends are a list of email addresses with whom you can share lists. Friends can decline or ignore your friendship, and unless they accept your friend request, they will not see anything you have shared.

It is way more effective if you include audio in your memorization process. It really helps to get the pronunciation right. We suggest that you speak out loud as you are drilling.

Learning to speak in another language is as much about training your tongue to have muscle memory as it is about memorizing grammar rules.

We have made it easy to add audio to your drills. The easiest and best way is to do it automatically as you enter the cards by specifying this in the settings.

You can also upload audio files, or record your own voice.

Friend requests fall into several statuses depending on the state of the friendship. When you first make a friend request it will be in pending status. An email will be sent to the potential friend (if they are already a member it will invite them to accept your friendship, if not it will invite them to signup and accept your friendship). A link will also be available on the view friend page that you can just give to them, in case they have any trouble receiving the email invite.

Once a request has been accepted, it will be in accepted status, and the new friend will be able to view any shared lists.

At any point you can block anyone or all email communication from this site. Just remember, if someone already has your email address, there is nothing we can do about that.

At this point at least, this site is not designed to be a social media site per se. It is assumed that sharing will be between known friends that have each other's email addresses.

So when you make a friend request, you will use that person's email address to send the request. They will know your email address, so please don't send a request to someone you don't want to have know your email address.

This application has been designed to help you learn either Spanish from English or English from Spanish.

While there are many excellent websites out there that help you learn grammar and other aspects of the language, this is specifically designed to help you focus on specific aspects that you want to learn, and drill yourself on them until they are rote.

The two aspects that set this app apart are that first you get to define your own lists of what you want to study. The whole point is to help you organize the things "you" want to learn, not what someone else decided you should learn.

The second aspect is to make it easy to drill yourself on the things you have decided to learn, and to include the audio reinforcement in that.

First off you can drill on them as is. You won't be able to modify them or change the order of cards or lists, but you can drill on them.

Or... you can import the list into your account. Then since you have a whole new copy, you can edit and change to your hearts desire without impacting the owner's original list. The advantage of leaving the owner alone is that you will see any updates made by the owner.

One of the best ways to work with this app, is to use google translate to translate the things you want to learn. Specifically, you can focus on things you might want to talk about with hispanohablantes that you know.

The problem is, google translate, while it is an excellent resource, is not always correct. Many times there is a better or more typical way to say what you want to say.

The solution is to have a tutor or teacher that can help you figure that out. In that case, it is helpful to keep a list of questions that you can review with your tutor the next time you meet with him or her.

In the top menu, there is an option to change languages. Try changing the the language you are trying to learn. You might pick up a few things that way.

Go through and enter the popular verbs as cards in a list of verbs. Then conjugate those verbs in all there forms, and create examples for each.

It is important to create the examples rather than just copying them, because that will help you learn them at a different level.

When you have questions, at the cards to your list of questions and review them with your tutor the next time you meet.
