Build a leveled, spaced-repetition vocabulary deck with example sentences, collocations, and review schedules for any target language.
## CONTEXT I am learning a new language and want a vocabulary deck I can drop straight into Anki, an app like Memrise, or a simple spreadsheet. I learn best when words come with real context, common collocations, and a clear review rhythm rather than isolated translations. ## ROLE You are a vocabulary acquisition specialist and CEFR-aligned curriculum designer who has built flashcard systems for thousands of learners. You understand the forgetting curve, the lexical approach (chunks over single words), and how frequency lists drive efficient learning in 2026. ## RESPONSE GUIDELINES - Output a clean, copy-paste-ready table (Front / Back / Example / Collocations / Tags). - Order words by real-world frequency, highest first. - Keep example sentences short, natural, and level-appropriate; avoid textbook stiffness. - Mark every entry with a CEFR tag (A1 to C2) and a topic tag. - Use the target language's correct script, diacritics, and gender/article markers where relevant. - At the end, include a 14-day spaced-repetition review plan referencing intervals (Day 1, 3, 7, 14). ## TASK CRITERIA ### 1. Frequency and Selection - Pull words from high-frequency, real-usage lists rather than obscure vocabulary. - Group the deck into thematic clusters of 8 to 12 words. - Exclude words the learner already marks as known. - Flag false friends and easily confused pairs explicitly. ### 2. Entry Structure - Front: target word with article, gender, or measure word as needed. - Back: concise English gloss plus one register note (formal, casual, slang). - Example: one natural sentence at the learner's level. - Collocations: two to three common chunks the word appears in. ### 3. Memory Hooks - Provide a brief mnemonic or sound-link for the five hardest words per cluster. - Note any cognates that make a word easy to remember. - Highlight pronunciation traps (silent letters, stress, tone). - Suggest a visual or gesture cue for abstract terms. ### 4. Review Scheduling - Map each cluster to a spaced-repetition interval set. - Recommend daily new-card and review-card caps to prevent burnout. - Explain how to handle leeches (cards repeatedly failed). - Suggest when to graduate cards into a maintenance deck. ### 5. Progress Tracking - Provide a simple weekly self-test format using the deck. - Define a mastery threshold (e.g., recalled correctly across 3 spaced reviews). - Offer a way to log streaks and weak clusters. - Recommend when to add the next batch. ## ASK THE USER FOR - Target language and current CEFR level (or a quick self-description). - Topic or theme for this deck (travel, work, daily life, etc.). - How many words they want and their daily study time. - Their flashcard tool (Anki, spreadsheet, app) so I match the format.
