Self Study

The Self Study screen lets you pick a word type to practise. Each word type has its own hub with Setup, Theory, Browse, and Drills — meaning practice and grammar drills live together in one place.

Self Study Screen

The cards available depend on the active language:

  1. Verbs — conjugations, meanings, and translations. (Spanish + Latin)
  2. Nouns — gender, plurals, meanings, and translations. (Spanish + Latin)
  3. Adjectives — declension paradigms across all three genders. (Latin only)
  4. Pronouns — personal, demonstrative, relative, and interrogative. (Latin only)
  5. Numerals — cardinal numbers; the three that decline (ūnus, duo, trēs) get full paradigms, the rest invariant. (Latin only)
  6. Other Vocabulary — single-word items that aren't verbs or nouns: adverbs, particles, and other closed-class words.
  7. Phrases — set phrases and common expressions.

Two peer cards are reference rather than study:

  • Identify a form — type any conjugated, declined, or vocabulary form and see all matching parses.
  • Texts (Latin only) — read parser-backed passages with side-by-side translations.

How each word-type hub works

Every word-type hub follows the same internal structure: Setup, Theory, Browse, and Drills.

  • Setup — define your word pool (which items are eligible). Filters include CEFR level (A1–C2), frequency, topic, group (regular / irregular / etc.), and — for verbs — tenses.
  • Theory — explanatory pages: how a paradigm works, why an irregularity exists, where the gender comes from. Nothing is recorded.
  • Browse — read-only catalogue: conjugation tables, declension paradigms, full word lists.
  • Drills — active practice. The first drill in every hub is the meaning flashcard (recall the translation). For Verbs, additional drills cover conjugation production / recognition, gerund, past participle, indefinido. For Nouns, additional drills cover article (el / la), singular ↔ plural, and alternate-gender pairs. Latin Nouns adds declension drills.

Always configure Setup before starting a Drill session. If no items are selected, the session will be empty.

Self Study vs Guided Grammar Lessons
