When you start a Vocabulary review on an iOS device, you'll be asked if you'd like to complete the review with Flashcards or Writing:
- Flashcards: You'll be shown flashcards with text, audio, and a hidden translation. Test your memory by guessing the word, then click 'Show translation' to check your answer.
- Writing: You'll engage in writing exercises that ask you to type what you hear or translate the flashcards shown, testing your listening skills and memory.
Please note, Flashcards Vocabulary reviews are exclusive to the iOS version of the Busuu app. In places where Flashcards aren't available, Writing reviews are offered by default. Happy reviewing!
