Your Anki words, in everything you read
Anki is one of the best flashcard apps there is. But a word you only meet on a card stays a card. Flamigo takes your deck, or any word list, and puts its words into the news, videos and websites you read every day, so you meet each one in a real sentence. Then it helps them stick.
Who it’s for: language learners with an Anki deck, an exam list or a vocabulary list they want to actually see in use.
How it works with your words
- Bring your list. Import your words from Anki or a CSV, paste a list, or generate one with AI: an exam list, your industry’s vocabulary, your notes. It becomes a swap list.
- See it everywhere. The words from your swap list appear in what you follow: headlines, articles, YouTube captions and reels on your phone, and every website on your computer with Flamigo for Chrome. Your list words come first whenever a page has them.
- Tap, save, practise. Each word has a card with its meaning, forms, sound and the sentence you met it in. Practise with flashcards, quizzes, sentence builder, conjugation and writing, with spaced repetition.
- Share it. Send a swap list to your class or your team, and everyone sees the same words in their own reading.

Where Flamigo is different
- Your list comes to life. Every word of your deck shows up in what you already read and watch, in real sentences, on your phone and on every website.
- No card making. New words come with their sentence, and you save them with one tap.
- More than flipping a card: sentence builder, conjugation and writing take a word from recognising it to using it.
FAQ
Do I have to stop using Anki?
No. Use both: bring your deck into Flamigo and meet its words in real content, and keep Anki for everything else.
What can a swap list be?
Any list of words or phrases: an exam list, a course’s vocabulary, work terms, your notes. Single words appear as swaps; phrases go to your flashcards.
