Practical tips to learn faster, stay consistent, and keep every device in sync.

Getting started quickly

• Create one focused list per goal (e.g., “Travel Spanish A2”) to avoid noise.
• Set a daily target you can always hit (10–15 cards) to build streaks reliably.
• Use the “Start free” flow on mobile and desktop so both stay synchronized.

Better sessions

• Turn on Focus mode for distraction-free reps and faster completion times.
• Use keyboard shortcuts: arrow keys to rate, space to flip, enter to continue.
• Study in short bursts (2–3 sessions/day) instead of one long block.

Spaced repetition wins

• Always clear your “Due” cards before adding lots of new ones.
• If a card keeps failing, rewrite it simpler or add a mnemonic.
• Keep intervals honest: resist manual repeats; let the scheduler do the work.

Lists and importing

• Group by theme (travel, work, exam) and level (A1, B1) for cleaner insights.
• When importing CSV, keep columns consistent (front/back/hint) to avoid duplicates.
• Share lists with teammates via exports to keep everyone aligned.

Streaks and motivation

• Set a “minimum viable day” (even 5 cards) to avoid breaking streaks.
• Review earlier in the day; late sessions risk rollovers and missed goals.
• Track weekly gains (“+ words learned”) instead of just streak length.

Offline and sync

• Download your main lists before traveling; Vokabulo caches progress and syncs when back online.
• If you switch devices mid-day, refresh once to pull the latest due queue.
• Keep one primary device for adding new cards; review anywhere.

Fixing common issues

• Duplicates after import: run de-duplicate in list settings and keep one source of truth.
• Cards feel too easy: lower ease only on the tough ones; don’t reset the whole deck.
• Overdue pile: do two short sessions to clear “Due” before adding new cards.
