| What is spaced repetition? |
| So first, let's talk about spaced repetition. |
| What is it, and why is it so powerful for learning languages? |
| First off, spaced repetition is exactly what it sounds like. |
| It's learning that gets spaced out over time. |
| Imagine this. |
| You learn a new phrase today, and instead of trying to memorize for the next 20 minutes so you can remember it forever, you just walk away for the day. |
| But then, you come back tomorrow to review, then again, two days later, then again, three days later, and so on. |
| So you're spacing out your learning. |
| You learn, you take a break, you come back later. |
| Why do it this way? |
| There are two big reasons. |
| First, you need repetition to learn anything. |
| I mean, think about it. |
| When was the last time you heard something once and it stuck forever? |
| You'd be fluent by now if that worked. |
| And second, your brain remembers better when you take breaks in between reviews. |
| If you try to cram it all in at once, your brain has no time to process, and you forget everything as quickly as you learned it. |
| But by spacing out your learning, you're giving your brain time to rest, process, and remember new words and phrases. |
| So that's spaced repetition learning. |
| And spaced repetition flashcards apply this spaced repetition method to help you learn the language and remember it for good. |
| Instead of you having to remember when to review certain words, the flashcards do this for you and test you accordingly. |
| How to use the spaced repetition flashcards inside our system. |
| Now, let's talk about how to use our spaced repetition flashcards. |
| You'll find the flashcards in the vocabulary drop-down menu on our site. |
| There, you'll see the 100 Must Know Words deck waiting for you. |
| That's a ready-made deck you can start with. |
| But you can also make flashcard decks using words and phrases from our lessons, the 2,000 core word list, words in your word bank, and our free vocabulary list. |
| So click study and then start session to begin. |
| Here's how it works. |
| You'll see a word or phrase and your job is to see if you know it or not. |
| Click show answer to check. |
| If you got it right, mark it as correct. |
| If not, mark it as incorrect. |
| You can even rate how well you knew it by clicking on the spectrum from correct to incorrect. |
| You can also set it as mastered to never see it again. |
| And here's where the flashcards put spaced repetition to work. |
| They start sorting the words based on how well you know them. |
| The words that you don't know will show up until you get them right. |
| For the words you know, these will start getting spaced out. |
| You'll see them in two days, then five days, then 13 days, and so on. |
| So you don't forget them over time. |
| When you're done with a session, that's it. |
| Come back tomorrow. |
| How to customize your learning with spaced repetition flashcards. |
| The most common way to quiz yourself with flashcards is simple. |
| You see the word in your target language and check if you know the meaning. |
| But there are other ways to quiz yourself too. |
| In the settings, you can choose from three modes. |
| Listening, hear the word and check if you understand it. |
| Production, see the translation and try to recall the word in the target language. |
| Recognition, see the word and check if you know its meaning. |
| You can use one, two, or all three modes to learn even faster. |
| So if you haven't tried learning with spaced repetition yet, give it a try. |
| It's a guaranteed way to learn new words and remember them for good. |
| And in the grand scheme, you'll learn much faster and spend less time on the actual vocab study. |
