#### Importing flashcards into Anki

[Anki](https://wzyboy.im/post/1223.html) is a powerful, cross-platform flashcard app. You can import the TSV file that jisho-bot generated into Anki.

The exported TSV has three fields:

- `{word}   {reading}   {definition}`

- `reading` is usually Hiragana, or Katakana for loanwords (借用語).

An example of Anki flashcard:
