Importing from a Google Doc

Paste the document's link. We take every bold word or expression that has its translation on the same line, and nothing with numbers. Headings, dates, example sentences and grammar highlights stay out.

A long document is read where the newest lessons are: from the end, or from the top when the lesson numbers run downwards. Choose 10 or 20 pages, or the whole document. The preview says exactly what was read.

A document shared as “Anyone with the link” works at once. For a private document, connect Google Drive once — read-only — and it stays connected.

Writing questions

A Questions set holds multiple-choice questions and fill-in-the-blank sentences. Put ___ where the word is missing, then the correct answer first and the wrong ones after it. You can also paste them as lines:

მე ___ წყალი = მინდა | უნდა | გვინდა

The Quiz plays multiple-choice questions; Complete the sentence plays the fill-in-the-blank ones.

Sharing, printing, appearance

• Every set has a link. Anyone with it can play; nobody needs an account.
• An assignment is a link that asks for the student's name first, so the result is filed under it. Close it when the homework is due.
• Print a worksheet: a write-the-meaning exercise and a match-up, on paper.
• Look and feel: pick a visual style and lettering per set; game options set timers, lives and shuffling.
• Share with other teachers: a public set appears in Community. Others can play it and take a copy, never change yours.
