How does Vokabulo decide what I study?
Collecting words is fun, but making them stick is where the magic happens.
Short answer
It uses spaced repetition, so each word comes back around the time you are about to forget it. If too few words are due, the session is topped up so there is always something to practise.
Vokabulo uses a smart Spaced Repetition System (SRS). It calculates roughly when you’re about to forget a word and brings it back for review around that moment.
This means you spend less time on words you already know and focus on the ones that need attention. When you don’t have enough words due on a given day, Vokabulo tops up your session with other words, so you always have something to practice.
