## Decks

### Saudi Dialect Arabic

URL: https://eidetic.cards/decks/saudi-arabic
Price: $24.99
Cards: 5,200+
Language: Arabic (Gulf / Najdi)

Your textbook taught you Modern Standard Arabic. Nobody on the street speaks it.
Saudi Arabic is its own language in practice. The greetings are different. The slang is different. The way people order coffee, give directions, or talk to a doctor is nothing like what you learned in class. And yet almost every Arabic deck out there still teaches MSA vocabulary with no audio and no context.
This deck teaches Urban Najdi, the dialect of Riyadh and central Saudi Arabia. 43 themes organized around real situations, not abstract word lists. "At the Hospital" not "Medical Vocabulary." Every card has authentic Najdi-accent audio, an example sentence showing how the word is actually used, and transliteration so you can read it even if you're still learning the script.
Hijazi variant notes are included wherever Jeddah differs from Riyadh, so you're not caught off guard if you travel west.

Includes:
- 5,200+ cards across 43 themes
- 200 essential verbs, tagged for focused study
- Audio pronunciation on every card
- Example sentences on every card
- Transliteration on every card
- Cultural notes on ~30% of cards
- Gulf variant notes (UAE/Kuwait differences)
- 4 internal sub-decks by CEFR level (A1-B2)
- Quick Start PDF guide
- Lifetime free updates

Sample themes: Greetings, Numbers & Money, Food & Dining, Shopping, Directions, Time & Calendar, Emergency, Family, Home, Work.

### Levantine Dialect Arabic

URL: https://eidetic.cards/decks/levantine-arabic
Price: $24.99
Cards: 5,100+
Language: Arabic (Levantine / Damascus)

You're sitting in a cafe in Amman. Someone asks you a question and you understand every word individually, but the sentence doesn't mean what you think it means. That's Levantine Arabic. The grammar is straightforward but the culture is woven into every phrase.
Levantine Arabic isn't one dialect. It's four countries that share a grammar but disagree on the details. "How are you?" in Damascus is different from Beirut. The word for "now" changes when you cross the Jordanian border. This deck teaches Damascus Syrian as the base, the most widely understood Levantine variety. Where Lebanese, Jordanian, or Palestinian Arabic diverges, variant notes flag the difference so you recognize it when you hear it.
42 themes organized around real scenes, not word lists. Cultural notes explain the things no vocabulary PDF can teach you, like why you should refuse the first offer of coffee, how "inshallah" can be a polite way of saying no, and how to read the difference between a real invitation and a polite one. 199 essential verbs run through all four levels, tagged so you can drill them on their own.

Includes:
- 5,100+ cards across 42 themes
- 1,500+ vocabulary cards + 199 verbs
- Audio pronunciation on every card
- Example sentences on every card
- Transliteration on every card
- Cultural notes on ~30% of cards
- Cross-Levantine dialect variant notes (Lebanese, Jordanian, Palestinian)
- 4 internal sub-decks by CEFR level (A1 to B2)
- Quick Start PDF guide
- Lifetime free updates

Sample themes: First Conversations, Numbers, Money & Prices, At the Restaurant & Cafe, Getting Around, At the Market, Time & Days, Basic Descriptions, Feelings & Reactions, Asking for Help, At the Pharmacy.

### Egyptian Dialect Arabic

URL: https://eidetic.cards/decks/egyptian-arabic
Price: $24.99
Cards: 4,900+
Language: Arabic (Egyptian / Cairo)

You've watched enough Egyptian movies to recognize the accent. But understanding dialogue on screen is not the same as holding your own in a Cairo taxi.
Egyptian Arabic is the dialect the entire Arab world grew up hearing. Decades of cinema, music, and television made it the most widely understood variety from Morocco to Iraq. But speaking it requires the patterns no subtitle teaches. The negation wraps around the verb. Words like دلوقتي for 'right now' and أوي for 'very' exist nowhere in MSA. The rhythm is different. The humor lands differently.
This deck teaches Metropolitan Cairo Egyptian. 42 themes built around real conversations, not grammar tables. Dual audio (a male and a female voice) on every card, with transliteration, example sentences, and cultural context where it matters. 1,400+ vocabulary words and 200 verbs across four CEFR levels from A1 to B2.

Includes:
- 4,900+ cards across 42 themes
- 1,400+ vocabulary words + 200 verbs
- Dual audio on every card (male + female)
- Example sentences on every card
- Transliteration on every card
- Cultural notes on ~33% of cards
- 4 internal sub-decks by CEFR level (A1 to B2)
- Quick Start PDF guide
- Lifetime free updates

Sample themes: Greetings, Numbers & Money, Food & Dining, Shopping, Directions, Transportation, Family, Home, Work, Health.
Free sample: https://ankiweb.net/shared/info/139899664

### Medical Arabic

URL: https://eidetic.cards/decks/medical-arabic
Price: $29.99
Cards: 2,000+
Language: Arabic (Clinical Saudi)

You know the medicine. You can take a history, read an ECG, and write a discharge summary in English. But when a patient in Riyadh tells you where it hurts using words you've never heard in a textbook, that gap becomes real.
This deck covers 20 medical themes with the vocabulary you actually need at bedside. Both the formal medical Arabic used in documentation and the colloquial terms patients use to describe their symptoms. Every card has audio so you hear the pronunciation, not just read a transliteration.
Built by an MBBS-qualified physician with real experience in Saudi hospitals. The themes follow a clinical workflow: history-taking, examination, investigations, management, discharge. You learn what you need in the order you'll need it.

Includes:
- 2,000+ cards across 20 medical themes
- Audio pronunciation on every card
- Doctor-patient dialogue examples
- Formal medical + colloquial patient terms
- Clinical scenario sentences
- Body system organization
- Quick Start PDF guide
- Lifetime free updates

Sample themes: Patient History Taking, Pain & Symptoms, Cardiology, Respiratory, Gastrointestinal, Neurology, Orthopedics, Emergency Medicine, Pharmacy & Medications, Lab Results & Imaging.
Free sample: https://ankiweb.net/shared/info/399623006

### Latin American Spanish

URL: https://eidetic.cards/decks/latin-american-spanish
Price: $24.99
Cards: 5,500+
Language: Spanish (Latin American)

You've been studying Spanish. But the Spanish you learned doesn't sound like the Spanish you hear. The slang is different. The speed is different. The expressions people actually use in conversation never appeared in your course.
This deck teaches Latin American Spanish with a Mexican base, the variety spoken by the largest Spanish-speaking population in the world. 47 themes organized around conversations you'll actually have, not grammar units you'll never revisit. Every card has dual audio (a male and a female voice), a pronunciation guide, and an example sentence showing how the word sounds in real life.
Colombian and Argentine variant notes appear where vocabulary or usage differs, so the Spanish you hear on Netflix or from coworkers starts making sense too. 85 Pattern Drill cards cover the verbs that trip everyone up: stem-changers, irregulars, and the subjunctive.

Includes:
- 5,500+ cards across 47 themes
- 1,800+ vocabulary cards + 85 Pattern Drills
- Dual audio (Eduardo male + Perla female) on every card
- Phonetic pronunciation on every card
- Example sentences from real conversations
- Cultural context notes on ~40% of cards
- Regional dialect variant notes
- 5 internal sub-decks by CEFR level (A1 to B2)
- Quick Start PDF guide
- Lifetime free updates

Sample themes: Greetings & Farewells, Food & Street Food, Shopping & Markets, Transportation, Family & Relationships, Work & Office, Health & Doctor, Numbers & Money, Directions & Navigation, Home & Daily Life.
Free sample: https://ankiweb.net/shared/info/2017426750

### European Spanish

URL: https://eidetic.cards/decks/european-spanish
Price: $24.99
Cards: 4,200+
Language: Spanish (Castilian / Madrid)

Finding good European Spanish resources is harder than it should be. Most "Spanish" courses teach Latin American vocabulary and skip vosotros entirely. The ones that claim to teach "Spain Spanish" usually just swap a few words and call it done.
This deck was built for Spain from the ground up. Vosotros conjugations in every theme. Distinción pronunciation on every audio file. Hundreds of words and expressions that only exist in Castilian: mola, curro, quedamos, botellón, tío, vale, ilusión. The vocabulary that makes the difference between sounding like a tourist and sounding like a resident.
41 themes covering real life in Spain, from everyday survival to Semana Santa and food culture. Dual audio (a male and a female voice) in authentic Castilian on every card. 47 Pattern Drill cards for the verb forms other courses skip.

Includes:
- 4,200+ cards across 41 themes
- 1,380+ vocabulary cards + 47 Pattern Drills
- Dual audio (Aaron male + Elena female) on every card
- Phonetic pronunciation on every card
- Example sentences from real conversations
- Cultural context notes on ~27% of cards
- Spain-specific slang, idioms, and proverbs
- 4 internal sub-decks by CEFR level (A1 to B2)
- Quick Start PDF guide
- Lifetime free updates

Sample themes: First Conversations, Numbers, Money & Prices, Tapas & Dining Out, Getting Around, At the Supermarket, Time & Days, Basic Descriptions, Slang & Reactions, Asking for Help, At the Pharmacy.
Free sample: https://ankiweb.net/shared/info/648293198

### Medical Spanish

URL: https://eidetic.cards/decks/medical-spanish
Price: $24.99
Cards: 3,000+
Language: Spanish (Clinical (US/Latin American))

Your patient is describing their pain but the word they're using isn't in any medical dictionary. It's colloquial. It's regional. And you need to understand it right now, not after a Google search.
This deck covers 25 medical themes organized into 4 clinical sub-decks: Foundation, Clinical Core, Communication, and Specialties. Foundation cards are active on delivery so you can start studying immediately. The rest are suspended, ready to unsuspend theme by theme as you progress through your clinical rotation or practice.
Built by a physician from real patient interactions in US and Latin American hospital settings. Both the formal medical terminology and the colloquial words patients actually use. Dual audio (a male and a female voice) on every card.

Includes:
- 3,000+ cards across 25 medical themes
- 4 clinical sub-decks (Foundation, Clinical Core, Communication, Specialties)
- Dual audio on every card

Free sample: https://ankiweb.net/shared/info/814740068

### General German

URL: https://eidetic.cards/decks/general-german
Price: $24.99
Cards: 4,200+
Language: German (Hochdeutsch)

German has a reputation for being difficult. Most of that reputation comes from how it's taught. Grammar tables with no context. Word lists sorted alphabetically. No explanation of when to use "du" versus "Sie," or why saying "danke" to an offer might accidentally mean "no thanks."
This deck teaches standard Hochdeutsch organized by 42 real-life themes, from your first conversation to Oktoberfest, Bundesliga, and untranslatable words like "Feierabend" and "Sehnsucht." Every noun shows its gender and plural form. Every card has dual audio (a male and a female voice), phonetic pronunciation, and example sentences.
Cultural notes explain what no textbook will: why Germans give honest answers when you ask how they're doing, why a firm handshake matters more than you think, and how the line between formal and informal shifts depending on who you're talking to. Austrian and Swiss variant notes appear where vocabulary or pronunciation differs. 63 Pattern Drill cards cover separable verbs, modal verbs, and case endings.

Includes:
- 4,200+ cards across 42 themes

- Dual audio (male + female voices) on every card

### Medical German (FSP)

URL: https://eidetic.cards/decks/medical-german-fsp
Price: $29.99
Cards: 3,400+
Language: German (Fachsprachprüfung)

The Fachsprachprüfung is the exam between you and practicing medicine in Germany. You already know the medicine. The barrier is language, specifically the ability to switch between Fachsprache (the technical German your colleagues use) and Laiensprache (the everyday German your patients understand).
This deck drills both sides systematically. 1,041 entries across 28 themes, organized into 4 sub-decks: Anamnese (history-taking), Arztbrief (medical letters), Arzt-Arzt (doctor-to-doctor communication), and Fach/Laien Pairs. Each card teaches the technical term alongside the way a patient would say the same thing.
Optional Arabic toggle for Arabic-speaking doctors, who make up roughly 40% of FSP candidates. Clear German audio on every card. Built by a physician who understands both the exam and the clinical reality behind it.

Includes:
- 3,400+ cards across 28 themes
- 1,000+ entries including 370 Fach/Laien pairs
- 4 sub-decks: Anamnese, Arztbrief, Arzt-Arzt, Fach/Laien
- Audio pronunciation on every card
- Arabic toggle (show/hide with card template)
- Exam tips on ~45% of cards
- Example sentences for patient and rédaction contexts

Free sample: https://ankiweb.net/shared/info/1436198192

### French

URL: https://eidetic.cards/decks/french
Price: $24.99
Cards: 18,000+
Language: French (Standard / Parisian)

Most courses teach a tidy textbook French that nobody actually speaks. You learn "nous mangeons," then a real French person says "on mange," swallows half the letters, and drops a "du coup" into every third sentence. That gap between classroom French and street French is where most learners stall.
This deck closes it. 4,600+ words across all four CEFR levels, A1 to B2, each with a real example sentence and a word-by-word breakdown so you see exactly how it is built. Two voices, male and female, read every word and every example, so you learn what French sounds like and not just how it looks on paper. Nouns are color-coded by gender from the first card, so "le" and "la" stop being a guessing game.
It goes where textbooks won't: the spoken French of "chuis," "y'a" and "apéro," the argot and idioms of real conversation, and the bureaucratic French of the mairie, the CPAM and a grève. 210 pattern drills train the machinery most learners avoid, the subjunctive, si-clauses and spoken shortcuts, until they are automatic. A set of audio-only Listening cards trains your ear to follow French at natural speed. Cultural notes explain how the words really live: what 100% Santé covers, why the apéro matters, and how the paperwork actually works.
Coverage is validated against the CEFR reference levels for French, so "A1 to B2" is an honest claim, not a marketing one. Whether you are moving to France, brushing up for travel, or pushing past the intermediate plateau, this is the French that actually comes out of French mouths.

Includes:
- 18,000+ cards across 50 themes
- 4,600+ vocabulary words + 210 Pattern Drills
- Dual audio (male + female voices) on every word and example
- Audio-only Listening cards to train your ear
- Word-by-word breakdown of every example sentence
- Gender color-coding on every noun
- Real spoken French: argot, idioms and shortcuts like chuis and y'a
- Cultural notes on everyday life and French admin
- 4 internal sub-decks by CEFR level (A1 to B2) plus Grammar Patterns
- Lifetime free updates

Sample themes: Greetings & Everyday Basics, Family & Home, Food, Cafés & Markets, Shopping & Money, Getting Around & Travel, Health & French Admin, Work, Tech & Education, Spoken French, Slang & Idioms, Culture: Cinema, Wine & Apéro, Debating, Politics & Abstract Ideas.
Free sample: https://ankiweb.net/shared/info/1758595780

### Medical French

URL: https://eidetic.cards/decks/medical-french
Price: $24.99
Cards: 3,700+
Language: French (Clinical (EVC/ECN))

The EVC is not a language exam. It's a proof that you can practice medicine in French. The difference matters. You don't need to conjugate perfectly. You need to take a history, write an observation, explain a diagnosis to a patient, and present a case to a colleague, all in the right register at the right moment.
This deck is built around those four skills. Interrogatoire sub-deck for history-taking. Rédaction for medical writing. Système for understanding Carte Vitale, CPAM, and the parcours de soins. And 396 Technique/Patient Pairs across 10 specialties, drilling the register switch that the EVC actually tests.
3,700+ cards with audio on every one. Optional Arabic toggle for Arabic-speaking doctors. Exam tips on clinical cards flag the patterns examiners look for. Built by a physician, not a language teacher.

Includes:
- 3,700+ cards across 27 modules
- 4 sub-decks: Interrogatoire, Rédaction, Système, Pairs
- 1,000+ entries including 396 technique/patient pairs
- Audio pronunciation on every card
- Arabic toggle (show/hide with card template)
- Exam tips on clinical cards
- 10 specialty pair sets (Cardiology to Surgery)
- French healthcare system vocabulary (Carte Vitale, CPAM, parcours de soins)
- Quick Start PDF guide
- Lifetime free updates

Sample themes: Opening & Introduction, Chief Complaint & Pain, Medical History, Medications & Allergies, Family History, Lifestyle & Habits, Review of Systems, Physical Examination, Admission & Procedures, Diagnosis & Results.
Free sample: https://ankiweb.net/shared/info/2042114962

### Complete Turkish

URL: https://eidetic.cards/decks/complete-turkish
Price: $24.99
Cards: 7,000+
Language: Turkish (Standard / Istanbul)

Turkish looks intimidating from the outside: the suffixes stack, the vowels shift, and a single word can carry a whole English sentence. But it is one of the most regular languages you can learn. Once the patterns click, they never betray you. The problem is that most resources show you the words without ever showing you the machinery.
This deck shows the machinery. Every example sentence comes with a word-by-word breakdown, and every suffixed form is split into its parts so you can see exactly how the grammar assembles itself. 2,300+ words across all four CEFR levels, each with two voices (male and female), phonetic pronunciation, and a real example sentence. A 12-card alphabet course covers the letters English speakers trip on, and 73 pattern drills train vowel harmony, tenses, and cases until they are automatic.
Cultural notes on 600+ cards explain how the words actually live: why çay arrives in a tulip-shaped glass the moment yours is empty, why pasta means cake and not noodles, and what to say to anyone you see working. And if you already know some Arabic, the etymology field on 650+ cards shows the Arabic or Persian origin in its original script. You will be surprised how much Turkish you already half-know.

Includes:
- 7,000+ cards across 47 themes
- 2,300+ vocabulary words + 73 Pattern Drills
- 12-card Alphabet & Pronunciation course
- Dual audio (male + female voices) on every word
- Word-by-word breakdown of every example sentence
- Suffix-by-suffix grammar breakdowns
- Cultural notes on 600+ cards
- Arabic and Persian etymology on 650+ cards
- 4 internal sub-decks by CEFR level (A1 to B2)
- Lifetime free updates

Sample themes: Greetings & Foundations, Family & Home, Food & Hospitality, Body, Health & Feelings, City Life & Movement, Work, Tech & School, Survival, Travel & Money, Culture & Religion, Society & Modern Life, Idioms & Proverbs.

No. Every deck comes with a Quick Start guide that walks you through installation, import, and recommended settings. If you've never used Anki before, you'll be up and running in under 10 minutes.

### What devices can I use?

Anki runs on Windows, Mac, Linux, Android (AnkiDroid, free), and iOS (AnkiMobile, paid separately by Anki's developer). You can sync across devices using a free AnkiWeb account.

### What makes these better than free decks?

Free decks are almost always raw word dumps with no audio, no example sentences, and no structure. Our decks have audio on every card, real example sentences, thematic organization, and dialect-specific content. We build each card with context: an example sentence, a pronunciation guide, and tags for theme and difficulty level.

### How are the decks organized?

Thematically, by real-life situations like ordering food, visiting a doctor, meeting someone new, or navigating an airport. Within each theme, words are ordered by frequency so you learn the most useful ones first. We also provide tags for part of speech, CEFR level, and frequency band.

### What's on each card?

Every card includes: the target word or phrase, an audio pronunciation, an example sentence (with translation), and a transliteration where applicable. Language-specific cards may include additional fields like gender markers, verb conjugation notes, or cultural context.

### Is the audio AI or human-recorded?

The audio is professional AI voice, not flat textbook narration. We hand-pick one consistent voice per language and tune it to the target dialect, so Saudi Arabic sounds Najdi and Mexican Spanish sounds Mexican rather than generic. The pronunciation is clear and natural, so you hear each word before you try to say it.

### Can I try before buying?

Yes. Every deck has a free sample of 500+ cards available on AnkiWeb. No account or payment required. Download it, review for a week, and decide.

### Do you offer refunds?

We don't offer refunds on digital products. Once downloaded, there's no way to "return" a file. That's exactly why we provide generous free samples, so you can judge the quality before spending anything.

### Are there bundle discounts?

Yes. Related decks can be purchased as bundles at a discount. For example, Saudi Arabic + Medical Arabic is $44.99 (vs $54.98 separately). Bundle options are shown on the product page.

### Do you offer regional pricing?

We're working on offering purchasing power parity (PPP) pricing for developing countries. If our standard pricing is out of reach for your region, email us at hello@eidetic.cards and we'll do our best to help.

### Will I get updates?

Yes. All buyers receive free lifetime updates. When we improve a deck (new cards, better audio, fixed errors), you get the updated version at no extra cost. We'll notify you by email when updates are available.

### How do I report an error?

Email us at support@eidetic.cards with the deck name, card in question, and what you think is wrong. We take errors seriously and fix them in the next update.

### Can I request a new language or deck?

Absolutely. Email us at hello@eidetic.cards with your suggestion. We prioritize languages and topics based on demand, so the more people ask for something, the sooner we build it.

### What format are the decks?

All decks are .apkg files, the standard Anki package format. This is a self-contained file that includes all cards, media (audio), and deck settings.

### Can I edit the cards?

Yes. Once imported into Anki, you have full control. Add notes, modify cards, suspend ones you don't need, or reorganize however you like. The deck is yours.

### Will importing overwrite my existing cards?

No. Anki handles imports intelligently. It adds new cards and updates existing ones without duplicating or deleting anything. Your review history and scheduling are preserved.
