How sentence mining works with your own material

Sentence mining means saving a whole Spanish sentence from something you actually read or hear, then turning it into one of your spanish sentence mining flashcards. The sentence gives you grammar, collocations and tone along with the vocabulary.

  • Mine one or two new items per sentence to keep daily reviews manageable.
  • Keep the full sentence on the card so the grammar stays visible.
  • Add an English translation on the back and note the register if the phrase is slang.
  • Review new cards daily and let spaced repetition handle the older ones.
Example Spanish sentence mining flashcards
Mined word 'aunque' in: Aunque llueve, iremos al parque.Although it is raining, we will go to the park. Aunque takes the indicative when the clause states a fact.
Mined phrase 'echar de menos' in: Echo de menos a mi familia.I miss my family. Echar de menos is a common everyday phrase for feeling someone's absence.
Mined verb form 'hubiera' in: Si hubiera estudiado, habría aprobado.If I had studied, I would have passed. Hubiera is the imperfect subjunctive of haber, used in si-clauses for hypothetical situations.
Mined verb 'tomar' in: ¿Tomamos un café después de clase?Shall we have a coffee after class? Tomar means to drink, but it also means to have or take, as in tomar un café.
Mined idiom 'estar en las nubes' in: Ana siempre está en las nubes durante la clase.Ana is always daydreaming during class. Estar en las nubes literally means to be in the clouds, or to be distracted.

Sentence-level cards

Each card keeps the full Spanish sentence as context, so the word you mined is learned in use, not in isolation.

Spaced repetition built in

Cards return on a schedule that adjusts to what you recall, so mined sentences stick over weeks.

How it works

Get flashcards from the sentences in your text, then keep the ones worth learning.

Review on schedule

Study in the browser on the free plan, or export to Anki on Plus.

The method works best when the sentences come from material you already find interesting, such as a news article, a short story, or subtitles you can read. A card built from a sentence you care about tends to get reviewed more often than one from a generic word list.

Keep each mined sentence focused on one or two new items. If a sentence has five unknown words, pick the one that blocks comprehension most and leave the rest for later reviews.

Frequently asked questions

How many sentences should I mine per day when learning Spanish?

Many learners start with 5 to 10 new sentences a day, which is manageable alongside reading. Increase the number only if your reviews stay under control.

Should a sentence flashcard show the whole sentence or just one word?

Show the whole sentence on the front with the target word marked, and put the translation and the word's meaning on the back. The context is what makes the card useful later.

Can I export my Spanish sentence cards to Anki?

Yes, export to Anki is a paid feature on the Plus plan, which costs $39/year or $7.99/month. The free plan lets you study in the browser without exports.

Is there a free plan for making these flashcards?

Yes, the free plan includes 3 generations per month and browser study. Students with a school email get 40% off, and no credit card is needed to start.
