Decks & Reviews
Decks are where memorising happens in Immersive. A deck is a collection of cards — words, sentences, verb conjugations, or numbers — and reviewing a deck shows you each card at the moment you are about to forget it, using spaced repetition that adapts to your memory (the FSRS schedule, the same family of scheduling used by modern Anki).
What a deck can hold
A deck mixes four kinds of cards:
- Word cards — a word, its translation, and optionally an example sentence.
- Sentence cards — a full sentence with its translation.
- Verb cards — conjugations for the verbs and tenses you choose, either one card per person or a whole tense table per card.
- Number cards — numbers written out in your target language.
Cards can come from many places: typed in by hand, imported from a spreadsheet, pulled from words and sentences you saved while reading, generated from your Vocabulary, copied from a public or Library deck, or created from verb comparison tables.
How reviewing works
Each card is scheduled individually. When you review a card, you (or Immersive) grade the answer — Again, Hard, Good, or Easy — and the schedule adjusts: cards you find easy retreat further into the future, cards you miss come back quickly. Over time you spend your review minutes almost entirely on the material that actually needs them.
You can review every card in four modes — Read, Write, Listen, and Speak — so the same deck trains recognition, spelling, comprehension, and pronunciation.
The Decks page
Opening Decks from the navigation shows:
- Library — ready-made decks from Immersive, such as the most common words in your language, which you copy to My Decks to study.
- My Decks — your decks, with folders, and columns showing how many cards are New, in Learning, and Due in each.
- Review history — a log of your past sessions, via the clock icon.
Anki
If you also use Anki, any deck you can open has an Export to Anki action — Immersive prepares the file and emails it to you. Immersive also publishes ready-made Anki decks for its language pairs on the Anki Decks page; sign in to download them.
