Sync Your InterSub Wordbook with the Anki Flashcards Apps for Desktop and Mobile

Flashcards are a proven method for enhancing memory and learning, and Anki, a widely-used tool with millions of users worldwide, takes it further with spaced repetition—a technique that schedules reviews based on how well you recall each word. 

Once you've saved a word in your InterSub Wordbook and followed the instructions to sync with Anki, the word will appear as a flashcard across Anki Web, desktop, and mobile devices. This approach strengthens retention without overwhelming you. 

By syncing your InterSub Wordbook with Anki, you can easily review words and phrases encountered while streaming videos on Netflix, Amazon Prime, or learning through platforms like Coursera and Udemy. This seamless integration allows for a personalized and structured learning experience, making it easy to practice and steadily build fluency anytime, anywhere.
