Self-made versus pre-made
Creating your own deck is the most effective way to learn a complex subject. Subjects like languages and the sciences can’t be understood simply by memorizing facts — they require explanation and context to learn effectively. Furthermore, inputting the information yourself forces you to decide what the key points are, leading to a better understanding.
Do not learn if you do not understand. —SuperMemo
Notes
Each Anki client and each Anki version may implement card display differently, so you will need to test the behaviour across platforms. Currently was tested only Mac clients (desctop and iPad). But was made responsive layout for iPhones versions. Also was tested on the Windows 10 (desctop) last version Anki.
