Add a way to toggle off word matching exercises (and only retain flash cards)

I find the 2-column word matching exercises to be detrimental to my progress. I can often match words that I wouldn't have been able to translate correctly. But after matching them, I can get the correct answer when the flashcard comes up (although it should rightly be reset because I didn't remember it a few seconds before). What I do is that I always hide the right column with my hand so I don't see the answers, and treat the words on the left as if they were flashcards. When I lift my hand, I match them up. I need to keep a mental tracker of which words I didn't get right, so that when the actual flash cards come up, I can swipe them left to reset the counter.

Hi Guillaume, this feature is already in place. You can toggle it off in the settings on the left, under each card. I'm attaching a screenshot to help you find it more easily. Have fun studying! :) Michaela from DuoCards

Michaela oh, I see that now. But it's a card-level setting only. I have roughly 2500 cards... Any way to disable it for all cards so that pairing stops altogether?

Guillaume: It is for the entire pairing mode, not on the card-level only. :) Try it out.
