Why learn fewer with flashcards?
A translation is not enough: words are remembered faster when they return in short examples, audio and spaced review.
10 minutes a day can add up to 3,000 words a year. Spaced flashcards bring each word back when it is time to remember it.
We count words you add to learning and review regularly. Active use grows gradually and depends on practice.
| Pace | Per day | Per year | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Easy | 3 words | ≈ 1,100 words | starting without pressure |
| Balanced | 5 words | ≈ 1,800 words | steady growth |
| Recommended | 8 words | ≈ 2,900 words | around 3,000 words a year |
| Fast | 10 words | ≈ 3,650 words | visible vocabulary growth |
