Classical Arabic Flashcards
A Python flashcard app for Classical Arabic vocabulary. It reveals translations and saves the words still being learned.
The problem
I wanted a small desktop tool for practicing Classical Arabic vocabulary, with a way to carry unfinished words into the next session.
How it works
The Python application uses Tkinter for the interface and Pandas to read the vocabulary CSV. It chooses a random word from the remaining deck, shows the Arabic, and reveals the English translation after three seconds.
Marking a word as known removes it from the active list and saves the remaining words to a CSV file. The next session loads that file so practice can continue from the saved deck.
Implementation
- Tkinter canvas for the card and timed translation reveal
- Random selection from the remaining vocabulary
- A known-word action that removes mastered cards
- CSV persistence using Pandas
This is a simple practice tool. It does not implement a scheduled spaced-repetition algorithm or due-date model.
