Lexilinx is essentially a digital flashcard app designed to make learning even more effective.
The name is a combination of the Greek word lexi (Λέξη, meaning “word”) and the English word links – together signifying “word connections.”
Unlike in the physical world, each card in Lexilinx has only one side.
With the help of links, you can connect your cards to each other or to folders.
It’s well known that we learn most effectively when we associate new information with what we already know. In Lexilinx, you can link new material to previously learned content, connect words with example sentences, or organize your cards into folders – just like how connections are formed between brain cells during learning.
Have fun and good luck learning!
Create links
Use the following types of links:
Translations / Excercises
A language is flexible – you can translate a word in many different ways into foreign languages. Or maybe you’re learning several languages at once.
The good news: you can link multiple cards as translations, even in different languages.
Related flashcards
It might be easier to remember a word if you have an example sentence for it.
No problem: just create a card with the example sentence and link it to your word.
External websites
If you know a cool website with relevant content, simply create an external link.
Folders
Categorizing isn’t easy:
A word from your textbook? An animal? A word you learned in August? Or maybe all at once?
Create as many folders and subfolders as you like, and link your cards to as many of them as you want.
Create exercises
Lexilinx automatically creates tasks from your translations. However, if you want more control, you can create the tasks yourself.
Practice with the vocabulary trainer
The most effective way to learn is: repeat, repeat, and repeat.
The vocabulary trainer will test you as often as necessary – and for as long as it takes to reach your learning goal.
Sometimes multiple answers are possible: tap on the answer cards to reveal them, or type your answer in the input field – the vocabulary trainer will compare your response with the possible answers.
Organize your cards
Link your cards to as many folders as you like.
This way, you can quickly look up thematically related words.
The corresponding tasks are automatically displayed within the folder. This allows you to start focused reviews where only the words linked to that folder are tested.
Create decks
You can create multiple decks.
Decks can be exported into a deck file.
For example, if you are a language teacher, you can create decks with the material from your lessons and send them to your students.
They can then add the content of the deck to their own.
Here you can find some example decks.
