Italian Flashcards for Anki
The Italian vocabulary and verb decks I made for my own study, with pictures, recordings and examples from films.
I've been making Anki flashcards for learning Italian, and I've put them on a small website so other people can download them too.
The collection covers everyday vocabulary, words grouped by CILS level, numbers and verb forms. There are also decks built from the subtitles of Le otto montagne and Benvenuti al Sud, with the word shown in a line of dialogue and a word-for-word English translation.
I wanted more than a word on one side and a translation on the other. The cards include pictures and recordings, with details such as gender and plurals where relevant. Some have a short note about the word's origin or a connection to English. The website shows the front and back of a real card so you can see what you're downloading.
The number deck pays particular attention to numbers I mix up, especially the teens and tens. Verb practice is split into separate tense decks, so I can work on one tense at a time.
I used AI to write the cards and generate the pictures and voices, with dictionary data from Wiktionary as a reference. That made building the collection practical, but it also means there will be mistakes. They're the cards I'm using for my own study, and I'll keep improving them as I go.
The decks are free to download as .apkg files, with pictures and recordings included. Import one into Anki to use it. The vocabulary decks overlap, particularly the level decks, so you probably don't need them all.
