Sentence decks for Anki

Sentence decks, built right.

One new word per card, in a sentence you can already understand. Native audio, natural usage, sensible order. No grammar lectures. No English on the front.

i. proper ordering

One new word at a time — actually verified.

Every card introduces exactly one unfamiliar word, surrounded by words you already know. Most decks claim this; we verify it on every card with dependency-graph sorting.

ii. native audio

Real voices on both sides of every card.

Every word and every sentence spoken by a native voice. Tap to replay. Works offline in Anki on any device, no streaming.

iii. dialect honesty

Portuguese from Portugal is not Portuguese from Brazil.

Castilian isn't Latin American. We ship dialects as separate decks with native voices to match — pick the one you're actually learning.

Methodology

Old ideas. Honest execution.

Glot decks rest on two well-known principles: comprehensible input (Krashen, 1985) — language acquisition happens when learners understand messages, not when they memorise rules — and i+1, where input is most useful when it contains just one unknown thing beyond what the learner already knows.

Deck structure is inspired by the immersion-first approach popularised by Refold. We're not affiliated — their free roadmap is excellent as a full study framework.

  • Ordering Every card is programmatically verified to be i+1 against the previous cards, using a dependency graph — not hand-curation.
  • Sentences Written fresh in natural contemporary usage, then lemmatised with spaCy to confirm vocabulary coverage.
  • Audio Generated via ElevenLabs with a native-speaker-approved voice per dialect. Reviewed by a human speaker before shipping.
  • Dialect PT-PT ships separately from PT-BR, ES-ES separately from ES-LAT. A deck sounds like the place you're trying to learn from.
Questions, answered

Most-asked.

How is this different from Refold's decks?

Refold makes great decks. We differ in three ways: (1) we ship dialect variants as separate products so you pick the right one, (2) we let you preview thirty cards before buying, (3) we're cheaper — $19 against $30+.

Is this AI-generated?

Sentences are drafted by Claude; audio is rendered by ElevenLabs. Both are vetted by native speakers before release. We're transparent about the stack because the quality stands on its own — try the preview and judge.

Does it work on iPhone and Android?

Yes. The .apkg format works on every Anki client: Desktop (Win/Mac/Linux), iOS (AnkiMobile, $25 one-time), Android (AnkiDroid, free) and AnkiWeb in the browser.

Can I edit the cards?

Absolutely. Once imported, they're yours. Edit text, swap audio, delete cards, add your own — standard Anki behaviour.

What if I already know some of the words?

Anki supports suspending cards. Skim the first 50–100 on arrival and suspend anything you already know well. Each deck includes a frequency-rank metadata file so you can jump to your level.

Refund policy?

Seven days, no questions asked. The preview exists so you know what you're buying. If you change your mind, email hey@glot.study within a week.

How do I get updates?

We email new editions to buyers when we ship material improvements. Reimport the new .apkg — Anki deduplicates by card ID.
