# Pealim.com Dictionary To Anki Flash Cards
![Picture of a flashcard])(./flashcard.png)
## Tell me about the Script
This repository contains both the python script that can scrape the pealim.com website for dictionary words, as well as the resulting csv file 'pealim_dict.csv.' The script also has a function that adds tags by part of speech as well as add in a "shared roots" field that allows you to view the words with the same root. The resulting file is 'pealim_dict_for_anki.csv.' This file is then imported into Anki, where through a custom "pealim" note type, is turned into flash cards.

I would say the vast majority of the translations in the pealim.com dictionary are sufficient an helpful, however some of the definitions are not as good as they could be, or they do not provide enough context to truly understand what the word means. If you are suspicious of a definition, I suggest using the english-hebrew dictionary morfix as well as the hebrew dictionary https://milog.co.il.

Your options are to:
A) Fix your own deck based off of a superior definition you found
B) Inform pealim.com of a problem with one of their definitions, and then re-run the script to scrape their website (or ask me to re-run it and re-generate the files in this repository)
