Task description
Here you introduce the topic to the learner. The Task description is a static text displayed above the Flashcards throughout the entire set of cards. Insert your desired text.
Cards
On this first card, we'll present the learner with a picture of a Strawberry and ask the learner to type the Spanish name for Strawberry.
The Question text can be customized individually for each card. Use the Question field to give the learner instructions on how to solve the problem. You can alternatively use this field as a textual prompt or to give the learner an extra hint. The Question text is optional.
In the Answer field, we provide the correct answer. Add the correct Answer in this field.
Under Image, we add an image of a Strawberry. Since we want the user to type in the singular form of the noun Strawberry, we make sure to find a picture that only shows one Strawberry.

We'll use this image for the first card:
