Anki

My go-to flashcard app for spaced repetition learning.

Anki has shared decks for lots of different subjects that the community has contributed. Some that I use:

• Ultimate Geography tests the names of countries / sovereign states, their capitals, islands, flags, and bodies of water, including their location on the map. Very good.
• Japanese Basic Hiragana shows the Japanese character and you need to provide the English equivalent pronunciation.
  • The author has created a more comprehensive Japanese Hiragana deck with the full set of Hiragana characters
• Japanese course based on Tae Kim’s grammar guide & anime
  • This deck teaches you Japanese by providing audio clips from anime and Japanese shows
  • This has been great so far
