Let’s continue with our computer-themed Anki decks! This time I’m dropping a deck of words and short phrases dedicated exclusively to interacting with our computer desktop. I find when I’m trying to explain how to do something on a computer, I have to resort to English too often simply because I don’t know the vocabulary for something I use everyday.

The deck is free to access and download here. Feel free to add or remove words as you see fit.
