Hi Detlef Your example card layout is correct. Note you can add other sections such as "Examples" as well -- any headings after the first 2 are always hidden during review. What I suggest is to enter your cards in an easy, regular format such as tab-delimited, or even into a spreadsheet and then export to a tab-delimited or comma-delimited text file. Then use query-replace-regexp (C-M-%) to turn them into drill items as in your example. eg: if your file contains: el perro<tab>the dog<newline> el gato<tab>the cat<newline> ... replace newlines with "^J***Noun^J****Language1^J" replace TABs with "^J****Language2^J" replace "*** Noun^J" with "*** Noun^J:PROPERTIES:^J......^J" (where ^J is the newline character, entered by pressing C-q C-j) There is no special way to "import" such a file into org, as far as I am aware. FWIW I followed a very similar process to the above yesterday with 450 cards exported from Anki, and it worked well. For entry of more words "as you learn", I very strongly suggest setting up an org capture template.
