la estación

Your first deck is made for you

No empty list to fill before you can start. Four questions, and about 30 cards are waiting in the language you chose. Add your own words whenever you like.

  1. Which language are you learning?
  2. How well do you know it?
  3. What do you need it for?
  4. What do you want to cover first?

Each card comes back right before you'd forget it

A card you know waits longer before it returns; a card you missed comes back sooner. A session takes the cards that are due first, then new ones, up to the size you choose — so it stays short.

An example: a new card answered right each time it comes back. Each card keeps its own schedule, set by how you answer it.
