Teachers can create a Mixed Review that shuffles cards from two to five of their decks into one practice session of 10, 20 or 30 cards, and assign it to a class. Students practice with Smart Review, with the cards from all the decks mixed together, and each card shows which deck it comes from. Coming back to earlier topics alongside newer ones helps students remember them longer. Every answer counts toward each deck's progress, and teachers see how each class did on each deck.

Check-ins, Listening exercises and learning paths have an Aa Reading button with three supports. Line Reader highlights the line being read and dims the rest: it follows the mouse or a finger, and the arrow keys move it one line at a time. Easy-to-Read Font and Larger Text make the words easier to take in. Anyone can switch them on, and the choices are saved for each student on their device.

Teachers can add Listening exercises to a learning path as lessons, and students listen and answer without leaving the path. Teachers can also generate a Listening exercise with AI from one of their decks, so the passage or conversation practices the deck's words.

A deck's progress view shows teachers which cards each class gets wrong most often and how many of the students who tried each card got it wrong, so teachers know which words to go over again.

Pick a Student draws a random name in big letters for the classroom screen, and everyone gets a turn before anyone is picked twice. Make Groups splits a class into random groups of the size teachers choose, leaving out anyone marked absent.

Students get a redesigned Assignments page that shows how far along they are and what's left to finish. Smart Review is now the main way to study, and streaks count weeks in a row instead of days.

AI Flashcards has a new layout: pick the kind of deck first (Language, General or From Notes), describe your topic, then set the details. The deck title fills itself in, and the examples in the topic box show the kind of topics a class studies.

Live Quiz got a refresh from start to finish, for both you and your students. Games are now easier to follow on the projector and more fun to play on a phone. New along the way: a Full Screen view for the classroom and awards students can see on their own phones.

See what your students studied: Results and Grades show each student's mastery and work in progress, and you get a notification when students study an assigned deck. Assign work straight from the class page and see where students log in right after you create them. Each class has its own switch for the AI Tutor, and the class leaderboard starts off and shows first names only.

Play 5, 10 or all of a deck's questions, and students see a countdown while they answer. A question ends as soon as everyone has answered, or when you skip it, and the report shows how each player did. When the game ends, a What's Next screen helps you run it with your class, assign it as homework, or make a deck on your own topic.

A new deck offers two quick ways to fill it: paste a list or generate cards with AI for your students' grade level. The dashboard walks you through your first Live Quiz with ready-made decks in your language, a ready-made deck opens the waiting room in one click, and Try It as a Student lets you play your own game from a second tab.

The public library has grown with many new ready-made decks, credited to Teacher Elf with its own elf avatar. Save any public deck to your own decks to edit and assign it, or star it as a favorite to find it again without copying. Search covers every deck, general decks are grouped by subject, and your search and filters stay in the address bar so you can share a filtered view with a colleague. Quick Look shows a deck's cards without leaving the list, and the list loads more decks as you scroll.

Print a login slip for each student, or a list for the whole class. Host a Live Quiz from any deck, not only language decks. Change the app language before you sign in. And new teachers get one suggested next step on the dashboard to help them get going.

Set a due date on anything you assign and send it to several classes at once. Duplicate a check-in, adjust the score on a short answer, export the results, or add a whole class of students by pasting a list of names. Plus many small fixes that make everyday teaching smoother.

Teacher Elf has a new look: fresh colors, friendly illustrations on empty pages, and the Teacher Elf character cheering students on when they finish a game or study session. Decks now wear a color for their language, so Spanish, French, and German decks are easy to tell apart at a glance, and pages work better on a phone.

Turn on a dyslexia-friendly font or larger text for any student who needs it, right from their student page. The settings follow the student into everything they open while signed in, so there is nothing for them to set up themselves.

The Share panel can now send a deck, check-in, learning path, or any other activity straight to Google Classroom or Microsoft Teams. Click the button, pick the class or channel in their own window, and the link is posted for you, no copying and pasting. Students open it and sign in the usual way, so their progress and responses are still saved.

Add an optional explanation to any check-in or listening-comprehension question. Once a student submits, your explanation appears under that question, whether they got it right or wrong, so a graded activity turns into a teaching moment instead of just a score.

Import a deck by pasting straight from a spreadsheet or another flashcard app. Put one card per line with the term and its definition side by side, and the import screen figures out how they are split, whether by a tab, a comma, or something of your own, and shows a live preview as you paste. Adjust the split if a row looks off, name the deck, and import.

Live Quiz has a new game mode for classes where speed pressure gets in the way. In Accuracy mode every correct answer counts 1 point and answering fast earns no bonus, so the leaderboard simply shows how many questions each player got right. Pick it in the game lobby next to Classic and Survivor; the timer still paces each question, it just no longer decides the winner.

This page now keeps the latest updates front and center: the two newest releases show in full, while older months fold into compact rows you can expand in place. A month index on the right jumps straight to any point in history.

Paste a link to a web article, such as a Wikipedia page or a news story, and build study material from exactly what the class read. In AI Flashcards' From Notes mode, fetching a link fills the notes box with the article text, ready to trim before generating. In AI Lesson, an optional link grounds the whole lesson, vocabulary, dialogue, and quiz included, in that article's content and fills in the topic for you. You always see the extracted text before anything is generated.

Students can now challenge a classmate to a real-time duel built from any deck. From a deck's Games tab, a student picks an opponent, who gets an instant invite. Matching Pairs Duel plays on one shared board: take turns flipping cards, keep the pairs you match, and watch each other's moves live. Hangman Duel plays on five shared words: take turns guessing letters, score for every letter you reveal, and mind the shared gallows. Between hangman words both players see the word and its translation, with a full recap at the end. Multiple Choice Duel asks both players the same ten questions, each with four answers drawn from the deck; picks stay hidden until both have answered, then the correct answer is revealed before the next question, with a full recap at the end. Connect Pairs Duel drops the turns entirely: both players connect questions to answers at full speed, on one shared board where correct connections claim pairs, or in a time race on identical boards where the first to finish wins. Most points wins, a rematch is one click away, and teachers can challenge their own students too. To match, solo Hangman now hides the translation while you guess and reveals it when each round ends.

The dashboard now leads with what needs you: check-in responses waiting for review and each class's progress at a glance, next to your upcoming calendar. The shortcut grid is gone. In its place, one Create menu starts a deck, check-in, dialogue, presentation, or learning path and drops you straight into the editor with a ready-made title, so making something for class is one click.

Notifications now follow your language setting instead of staying in the language they were written in. The bell, the notifications page, and the email digest all translate, and switching languages updates your existing notifications too.

A new kind of assignment built around audio. Write a passage or a multi-speaker conversation, add comprehension questions, and your students listen and answer at their own pace with the text read aloud to them. Draft one from scratch or generate a starting point with AI, decide whether the transcript shows, and assign it to your classes like any other work. Answers are graded automatically and gathered in a results view. If you let the transcript show, it follows the audio and highlights the line or sentence being read, with conversations displayed as a back-and-forth chat.

The app can now be used in German, French, Danish, Finnish, Dutch, Italian, and both European and Brazilian Portuguese, alongside English, Norwegian, Swedish, and Spanish. Pick your language from the flag menu in the user menu and everything follows, from buttons and menus to the help pages. Students choose their language the same way.

A new study mode that adapts to each student. Smart Review mixes multiple-choice and type-the-answer questions, leans on the cards a student hasn't mastered yet, and tracks progress toward mastering the whole deck. It sits alongside Spaced Repetition on a deck's Study tab as a second way to practice.

Studying now builds momentum. Students earn points for every kind of practice, from flashcard reviews and deck games to learning paths, speaking practice, and Live Quiz, and a card on their home screen tracks their daily streak, daily goal, and level. Each class also gets an optional weekly leaderboard you can switch on or off, and your students list now shows each student's streak, level, and points earned this week.

Teacher Elf now speaks your language. Open the menu under your avatar, choose Norwegian, Swedish, Spanish, or English, and the whole app switches over: navigation, buttons, help pages, and more. Your choice is remembered the next time you sign in.

Turn any flashcard deck into a graded quiz in seconds. Choose how many questions, which types (multiple choice, true/false, written answer), and whether students answer from the question or the answer side. The generated check-in is a normal check-in you can edit, assign, and share. Start from the deck page or pick Generate from Deck when creating a new check-in.

The AI Deck Builder now has a From Notes mode. Paste text from your notes, articles, or textbooks, or upload a PDF. The AI extracts the key vocabulary or concepts and builds a flashcard deck. Works for both language decks (translation pairs) and general decks (Q&A cards). Review and edit the generated cards in the deck editor before sharing.

Study sessions now use a modern scheduling algorithm that adapts to each card individually. Cards you find easy are spaced further apart; cards you struggle with get more targeted practice without getting stuck in an endless loop. Expect around 20% fewer reviews for the same level of retention.

The home page is reorganized so you can see what's coming up and what happened recently at a glance. Each item links straight to where you need to go. The shortcut grid is regrouped into a few clear sections so the action you need is easier to find.

Teachers now get notified when students finish their work or join a class. Open Settings to choose which notification types you care about, or turn on an email digest to get a summary delivered to your inbox. Pick Daily or Weekly. The digest is off by default.

Click any assignment to preview it and move the due date. Drag assignments between days to reschedule. Busier days are shaded darker so you can spot overloaded weeks at a glance. Open the Unscheduled panel to see assignments without a due date and drag them onto a day to schedule them. You can also click a day to assign new work directly from the calendar.

Open the avatar menu and tap Support to send a bug report, feature request, or anything else. Your name and email pre-fill from your account. Attach a screenshot by clicking the picker or pasting one straight from the clipboard. When something errors anywhere in the app, the toast and the crash page show a Report button that opens Support with the error already in the message field, so you can describe what you were doing without copying anything.

AI Deck Builder isn't only for language pairs anymore. Switch the top picker from Language to General, pick a language for the cards, pick a card shape (Term and definition or Question and answer), type a topic, and the generator writes a study deck for any subject: biology terms, Shakespeare's plays, presidents and their years.

Open AI Language Lesson from the sidebar, type a topic, pick the languages you teach in and from, and choose a level. You'll get a complete lesson back: a vocabulary flashcard deck, a dialogue, and a check-in quiz. Pick how many cards, lines, and questions you want, or leave any of the three out. The preview fills in as each piece generates; saving drops everything into a new learning path with a cover image, ready to assign to a class or share publicly.

Decks already showed a soft tint to help you scan a long list, picked automatically from the deck. Now you can pick the color yourself. Open the deck, click the settings gear in the toolbar, and choose from six tints (or hit Auto to go back). The color follows the deck everywhere it shows up: the Decks list, the assignments rail, the deck card on a learning path.

Open Cmd+K (Ctrl+K on Windows) with nothing typed and the panel leads with your recents. The full catalog stays out of the way until you start typing. Recents are grouped by what they are (Decks, Classes, Learning Paths, Check-ins, Dialogues, Students), with the page icons you already know from the sidebar. The total cap moved from 5 to 10, with up to 3 per group, so a streak of opening four decks doesn't push out yesterday's class.

A pass over the mobile experience. Buttons across the top bar, dialog headers, and editor toolbars are bigger and easier to tap. Notifications slide in from the right as a panel instead of squashing the page. The Account card on Settings stacks on phones so the export buttons get full width instead of squeezing under the title. Form inputs use larger text so the browser doesn't zoom in every time you tap a field, and save errors show next to the field that caused them instead of next to the Save button.

Click your avatar in the top-right and the menu opens to a panel of grouped cards. A segmented theme picker (System / Dark / Light) sits at the top with the active option highlighted in primary. Below it: Settings, What's new, and Help in one card, then Log out. Privacy, Terms, and Contact live as small footer links at the bottom. What's new and Help moved here from the side nav, so the sidebar lost two items in exchange. A small dot appears next to What's new when changelog entries have shipped since you last opened the page.

The Profile card on Settings now leads with a six-tile stats overview: classes, students, decks, flashcards, learning paths, and assignments. Underneath, two friendly lines tell you how long you've had the account and when you last signed in. Every section card across the page picked up a small icon to scan the page faster, and the profile photo became an explicit opt-in: the avatar stays on a generated illustration until you flip Show my profile photo on.

The user manual got a filter box at the top, icons next to every article, and a grouped table of contents (Getting around, Teacher core, Content authoring, and so on). Click the ? help icon while working on a single class, learning path, check-in, dialogue, or student and you now land on an article about that screen instead of the generic index. New articles cover the class page, the learning-path editor, the check-in editor, the dialogue editor, the student page, and the changelog itself.

Until today, every screenshot on this page was captured in light mode. Dark-mode readers still got a bright frame in the middle of an otherwise dark page. Today's entries (and any new ones from here on, where it makes sense) carry both a light and a dark capture of the same view, and the page swaps between them based on the theme you've picked. Older entries without a dark variant keep showing their light frame in both themes.

A search bar lives at the top of every page now. Type a few letters and you'll get matches across every class, deck, assignment, learning path, check-in, dialogue, and student you've made. Hit Cmd+K (Ctrl+K on Windows) from anywhere to open it. Recently opened items show up first so the things you keep coming back to are one keystroke away.

Open the Share popover on a check-in, learning path, presentation, dialogue, or deck and you'll find a second link below the student URL. Anyone you send the public link to can open the content without signing in. Check-ins still collect responses (anonymous polls land in the responses tab); other types are view only. Regenerate the link to revoke it if it leaks; Stop sharing turns it off entirely. Sharing a learning path opens up every lesson inside it for the duration of the share, including private decks.

A new Insights tab on every class shows how many students are active and how many cards they have mastered, with charts over time. Choose the last 7, 30 or 90 days.

Hosts pick between 3 and 60 seconds per question instead of the old fixed 10. Preset chips for 10s, 20s, 30s, 60s, both on the start screen and from the lobby once a quiz is opened.

Teacher (email) vs. student (username) chooser presented on every Log in button, with the return URL preserved end to end.
