duolingo-to-anki

Download word list from Duolingo, save into Anki-compatible format. Duolingo is an online language learning tool; Anki is a flash-card application useful for practicing your vocabulary.

If you only want to do flashcard reviews of the words you learn on Duolingo, you'll probably have an easier time just using the flashcard system built right into Duolingo. To reach it, click on "Words" in the top menu, then "Review flashcards" on the right.

Releases

You can download the latest version from the Releases page right here on GitHub.

Tested with

• Anki version 2.0.31
• Duolingo on 2015-06-04
• OSX Yosemite and Windows 7 (not that the platform should matter)

Usage

• On Duolingo, select the language you want to use as the foreign language.
• Enter your Duolingo username and password
• Click Go!
• Watch as your words are downloaded
• In the newly opened save dialog save to a text file you'll find in the next step
• Import the text file you've saved as described in the Anki manual.
  • The first field is the word in the foreign language
  • The second field is the list of translations in the native language (always English for now)
  • The third field contains the "skill" in which the word appears on Duolingo, and the part of speech (noun, verb, etc.) as tags

Have fun!
