🃏 Flashcards

Supercharge Your Memory with Smart Flashcards! 🧠✨​

In Language Lit, every word or sentence you highlight and save (we call them "LitWords") automatically becomes a flashcard in our powerful spaced repetition system. No manual card creation needed—just highlight, save, and you're ready to practice!

What is Spaced Repetition? ⏱️​

Spaced repetition is a scientifically-proven learning technique that shows you information at optimal intervals to maximize long-term retention while minimizing study time.

Here's how it works:

  • Words you know well appear less frequently
  • Challenging words appear more often
  • The system adapts to your personal learning curve
  • You learn more effectively with less time invested

The FSRS Advantage 🚀​

Language Lit uses FSRS (Free Spaced Repetition Scheduler)—the most advanced spaced repetition algorithm available today. Unlike basic systems, FSRS:

  • Adapts to your unique learning patterns
  • Uses neural networks to predict optimal review timing
  • Reduces review time by up to 40% compared to older algorithms
  • Continuously improves as you use it

Practicing Your Flashcards 🎯​

Reviewing your LitWords is simple and intuitive:

  1. Navigate to the Practice section
  2. Cards due for review will appear automatically
  3. Test your recall of the word/sentence
  4. Respond using either method:
    • Swipe right if you remembered correctly
    • Swipe left if you struggled to recall
    • Or use the buttons with time intervals

Understanding the Buttons ⏳​

Each response button shows when you'll see the card again:

  • Again (red): Very soon (typically minutes)
  • Good (green): Standard interval (days/weeks)

The exact timing adapts to your personal performance history!

Building Your Knowledge Base 📚​

As you continue reading and highlighting in Language Lit, your flashcard collection grows organically based on what YOU find challenging or interesting. This creates a personalized learning experience that focuses on exactly what you need to practice.

Tips for Effective Practice 💡​

  • Daily practice is more effective than cramming
  • Trust the algorithm - it knows when you need to review
  • Be honest about your recall - it helps the system adapt
  • Keep sessions short (10-15 minutes) but consistent
