CleverDeck looks great and I've been looking for something to use alongside Duolingo. Do you have plans to expand from vocab to grammar? Duolingo can be too flexible and I'd love some more rigorous lessons on conjugation, etc.

Thanks! Right now, we just want to make the best piece of technology possible for learning thousands of words. I don't think grammar is learned very well through flashcards (though, every word does have an example sentence, so you could pick up on some through pattern recognition).

But, for sure, CleverDeck is just one tool in a language learner's toolbox. I have DuoLingo on my phone. It's great. But not ideal for learning tons of vocab.
