Anki decks

One free Anki deck per level, stressed word on the front and its meaning on the back, built from the same data as every page here.

Start here

  • First 100 deck

    The words on the first 100 pages, the same list as the first-100 guide. A spelling that is two words, like що (a pronoun and a conjunction), gets a card for each. In Anki they join their level's deck, tagged first100.

    122 wordsSend to Anki

  • Every level deck

    All five levels in one deck, most frequent first, each card tagged with its level.

One deck per level

Decks with sound

Where a card has a recording, it is a native speaker's whenever one exists; coverage is high for the first words and thins at the higher levels, so each row says how many. Your browser builds the deck: it fetches the recordings straight from the open archive that holds them and packs them into the file, so nothing is uploaded and no server keeps a copy. Each card shows who recorded it and under which license. A few recordings are synthesized voices, and the card says so. Building takes under a minute to a few minutes, depending on your connection and how busy the archive is; you can cancel at any point.

Already have the cards? Importing the sound deck adds the recordings to them, and your review history stays. A card whose text you edited yourself keeps your version, without sound. The deck for every level is about 130 MB, too much for a browser to hold, so it is written to a file you choose as it is built (Chrome or Edge on a computer); the level decks above open into the same decks, and Send to Anki below has no size limit at all. Recordings keep their own licenses (CC BY, CC BY-SA or CC0), shown on each card; the deck as a whole is CC BY-NC-SA 4.0.

Send to Anki, or make a deck of your own

If you use Anki on a computer, skip the file: this page can add the cards to your open Anki for you, with sound if you want it. It uses a free Anki add-on, AnkiConnect, that you set up once. You see what will happen before anything is written, words you already have are never added twice, and nothing goes through this site: the page talks to Anki on your computer. Afterwards you can bring your Anki progress back into the course.

You can also make a deck that fits you: my next words takes the next 100, 200 or 500 words in frequency order that the course has not started with you, and the words in a text takes the words of anything you paste (an article, song lyrics, a chapter), commonest first, with their inflected forms found the way the study's text profiler finds them. Either one can be sent to Anki or downloaded as a package. Your text and your course progress stay in this browser.

One-time setup for sending (about two minutes)
  1. In Anki on this computer, open Tools, then Add-ons, then Get Add-ons, and enter the code 2055492159 (AnkiConnect). Restart Anki.
  2. Open Tools, Add-ons, select AnkiConnect, press Config, and make the allowed-sites line read like this. Then restart Anki again.
"webCorsOriginList": ["http://localhost", "https://uavocab.org"]

Keep Anki open while you send. Works from a browser on the same computer as Anki; it was tested in Chrome, and Safari may refuse to let a page talk to a program on your computer, in which case use the download above. Nothing here is sent to uavocab.org: the page talks to Anki directly, and the first time, Anki asks you to allow it.

Import in three steps

  1. 1Download a deckPick a level above. The file is an Anki package (.apkg).
  2. 2Open it in AnkiDouble-click the file, or choose File, then Import. Anki's phone apps open packages too.
  3. 3Start studyingThe note type is "UA Vocab" and the decks sit under "UA Vocab", one per level. Each card is tagged with its level, part of speech and course unit.

Most words are asked both ways. A word whose English meaning is shared with others (eight verbs mean "to turn") is asked one way only, so no question has several right answers. Each card's ID is its frequency rank, so importing a newer version updates the cards you already have instead of adding copies, and your review history stays as it is.

To study only the first 100 words, search tag:first100. Cards tagged kind::form are forms of another word, such as a superlative or a diminutive; suspend them if you want headwords only. These packages have no recordings; the decks with sound above do.

Already imported the plain text deck? The package adds new cards beside the old ones, because the two use different IDs. Delete the old deck first if you do not want both.

Plain text files, for your own note type: First 100, A1, A2, B1, B2, C1, Every level.

Raw decks from the study

For builders: the study publishes its own Anki-importable files as data, with checksums. They carry no meanings, so they suit custom note types more than studying as they are.

The decks combine the PULS validated levels (CC BY-NC-SA 4.0), the stress column (CC BY-SA 4.0) and short English glosses from Wiktionary via kaikki.org (CC BY-SA 4.0), the same sources as the course, so they are CC BY-NC-SA 4.0: free to use, share and adapt, never to sell.
