A little help getting started with SwissFlashcards

You’ve decided to prepare for the Zurich Grundkenntnistest and bought access to SwissFlashcards. The next step should be easy to find.

I’ve added a short welcome email series in English for new buyers. It starts with signing in, then suggests two ways to begin studying.

Start with a clear way into the app

The first email explains which email address to use and how to request a sign-in link. Use the address you entered at checkout, request the link in the app, and open it from your inbox.

There’s no password to remember for this sign-in flow. The email walks you through the steps so you can get to your first questions.

Try a small practice session

A few days later, the next email invites you to practise 10 questions. It also includes a short visual tour of the app.

Ten questions give you a manageable place to begin. Read each one, choose an answer, and take a moment to look at the feedback. You can use that first session to find out what already feels familiar and what you’d like to revisit.

Take a first practice test when you’re ready

Around a week after purchase, there’s an invitation to try a 50-question practice test if you haven’t completed one yet.

The results give you another way to decide what to study next. Read through the questions afterwards and choose a topic or a few unfamiliar words to return to.

Keep the emails useful for you

You can unsubscribe from the optional study emails using their unsubscribe link. The email that helps you access your purchase is kept separate.

The series began with new purchases from the launch on 15 September. Existing customers weren’t added to it, and the follow-up emails may arrive after the suggested day.

Whether you use the emails or go straight into the app, I hope your first session gives you a clear next step.

Try a practice session.
