Why learn ourselves 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.
