## Common questions

### Do both tools work with Preply lesson materials?

Yes. In both cases, bring the material yourself. For example, paste a copied lesson chat into Lymi or upload a Canva PDF from your tutor to Schwanki.

### Does Schwanki require an Anki deck?

You can start with class notes alone. Anki import is available for learners who already have cards and want to carry over their progress.
