By default, we suggest the following workflow for new vocabulary:
✨ Step One ✨ — "FlashCards" mode
Designed for the initial memorization of new words and phrases.
- 👉 Swipe through and flip the flashcards
- 👉 After several rounds, mark as "I know" those you've learned
- 👉 Mark "Difficult" the ones you can't remember
🚀 Lifehack 2: Instead of single words, learn phrases, expressions, verbs with prepositions and objects!
🌟 This approach helps you learn twice as fast;
🌟 it's easier to recognize vocabulary in chunks;
🌟 you'll start speaking more fluently and naturally 🚀
✨ Step Two ✨ — "AudioCards" mode
Recognize learned words by sound.
- 👉 Listen, flip the flashcards, and check yourself
- 👉 Remove the "I know" status if you can't recall the translation
✨ Step Three ✨ — "Learn On-The-Go" mode
Use it to weave new vocabulary into your daily routine. Listen while walking, driving, cooking — let new words stay with you!
- 👉 Choose which language you want to hear first and how many repetitions you need in each language
- 👉 Set the pause duration between languages so you have time to recall and say the translation
- 📌 If you can look at the screen, turn on large text display
✨ Steps 4 and 5 ✨ — "Quiz" & "AudioQuiz"
Use these modes regularly to:
- ➪ Keep your learned vocabulary active
- ➪ Quickly find forgotten words that need to be relearned
✨ Step 6 ✨ — "Write"
To practice spelling.
- ➪ Incorrectly written words will keep appearing until you write them correctly
👉 Tap the "Repeat" icon to find this flashcard in the corresponding Set.
✨ FlashCards ✨ — the main mode for active vocabulary learning.
