Quick Start Guide
Complete Turkish
Everything you need to get started with your 7,000+ card deck.
1. Import into Anki
Getting your deck into Anki takes about 60 seconds.
- Open Anki on your computer or phone
- Go to File > Import (desktop) or tap the + button (mobile)
- Select the .apkg file you downloaded from Lemon Squeezy
The deck will appear in your collection with all sub-decks, audio files, and tags intact. No extra setup needed.
2. Recommended settings
Anki's defaults work, but these adjustments will give you better results with this deck:
- New cards per day: 10-15. This builds recognition quickly without overwhelming your review pile.
- Maximum reviews per day: 200. The default of 200 is fine. If your daily reviews regularly exceed 150, reduce new cards for a few days.
- Learning steps: 1m 10m. Anki's default. Leave it.
To change these: click the gear icon next to the deck name, then "Options."
3. How the three card types work
Every word in this deck generates three cards. Each tests a different skill:
- Recognition (Turkish to English). You see the word in Turkish and produce the meaning. This is the easiest card type and builds passive vocabulary.
- Production (English to Turkish). You see the English meaning and produce the Turkish word. Harder, but this is what you need for speaking.
- Cloze (fill in the blank). You see a real sentence with one word missing. This tests whether you can use the word in context.
Feeling overwhelmed? Suspend the Production cards for the first week. Focus on Recognition and Cloze. Add Production back once your daily reviews feel manageable. To suspend: select cards in the browser, right-click, "Toggle Suspend."
4. Where to start
This deck is organized into all 4 cefr levels, a1 to b2. You can study them in any order.
Our suggestion: start with themes that match your daily life. "Greetings," "At the Restaurant," and "Getting Around" give you immediately useful vocabulary.
Audio on every card
Every card has professional audio. On desktop, audio plays automatically when the card appears. On mobile, tap the speaker icon.
Tip: listen to the audio BEFORE reading the text. Train your ear first, then confirm with your eyes. This builds listening comprehension faster than reading alone.
Lifetime updates
Your purchase includes free updates for the life of the product. When we add new cards, fix audio, or improve translations, you can re-download the latest version from Lemon Squeezy at no extra cost.
