Hi!

I'd like to learn vocabulary using org-drill.

What is the intended way to input a few hundred two-sided
cards?

If I understand spanish.org correctly I need a headline like

*** Noun                                             :drill:
    :PROPERTIES:
    :DRILL_CARD_TYPE: twosided
    :END:

and subheadings
**** Language1
     text

**** Language2
     text

for each and every word?
Or is there a way to have one such headline followed by a lot of 
pairs of text for both languages?

Detlef
