主讲人:我发现了一种保证能快速学习新单词的方法,那就是间隔重复闪卡。这种方法之所以强大,是因为它利用了间隔重复的原理。学习不是一次性的,而是随着时间的推移分散开来的。例如,今天我学习了一个新短语,我不会试图在接下来的20分钟内记住它,而是休息一天。然后,明天我再回来复习,两天后再复习,三天后再复习,以此类推。通过这种方式,我将学习内容分散开来,学习,休息,然后再回来。这样做有两个主要原因。首先,你需要重复才能学习任何东西。想想看,你上次只听过一次就永远记住的东西是什么时候?如果那样有效,你现在已经很流利了。其次,你的大脑在休息后记忆得更好。如果你试图一次性塞入所有内容,你的大脑就没有时间处理,你会像学习一样快地忘记一切。通过间隔重复学习,我给我的大脑时间休息、处理和记住新的单词和短语。为了方便使用,我可以使用课程、核心词汇列表、单词库和免费词汇列表中的单词和短语来制作闪卡。在测试方法上,除了传统的测试方法外,我还可以选择听力、产出和识别三种模式来测试自己。总而言之,间隔重复是保证学习新单词并记住它们的好方法,可以更快地学习并减少词汇学习时间。

What if there was a guaranteed way to learn new words fast? You'd speak way more of your target language, right? Well, such a way exists. It's called spaced repetition flashcards, and you'll see just what makes this method powerful in just a bit.

What is spaced repetition?

So first, let's talk about spaced repetition. What is it? And why is it so powerful for learning languages? First off, spaced repetition is exactly what it sounds like. It's learning that gets spaced out over time. Imagine this. You learn a new phrase today.

And instead of trying to memorize for the next 20 minutes so you can remember it forever, you just walk away for the day. But then you come back tomorrow to review, then again two days later, then again three days later, and so on. So you're spacing out your learning. You learn. You take a break.

you come back later. Why do it this way? There are two big reasons. First, you need repetition to learn anything. I mean, think about it. When was the last time you heard something once and it stuck forever? You'd be fluent by now if that worked. And second, your brain remembers better when you take breaks in between reviews. If you try to cram it all in at once, your brain has no time to process and you forget everything as quickly as you learned it.

But by spacing out your learning, you're giving your brain time to rest, process, and remember new words and phrases. So that's spaced repetition learning. And spaced repetition flashcards apply this spaced repetition method to help you learn the language and remember it for good. Instead of you having to remember when to review certain words, the flashcards do this for you and test you accordingly. How to use the spaced repetition flashcards inside our system.

Now, let's talk about how to use our spaced repetition flashcards. You'll find the flashcards in the vocabulary drop-down menu on our site. There, you'll see the 100 must-know words deck waiting for you. That's a ready-made deck you can start with.

But you can also make flashcard decks using words and phrases from our lessons, the 2000 core word list, words in your word bank, and our free vocabulary lists. So click Study and then Start Session to begin. Here's how it works. You'll see a word or phrase, and your job is to see if you know it or not.

Click Show Answer to check. If you got it right, mark it as Correct. If not, mark it as Incorrect. You can even rate how well you knew it by clicking on the spectrum from Correct to Incorrect. You can also set it as Mastered to never see it again. And here's where the flashcards put spaced repetition to work.

They start sorting the words based on how well you know them. The words that you don't know will show up until you get them right. For the words you know, these will start getting spaced out. You'll see them in two days, then five days, then 13 days, and so on. So you don't forget them over time. When you're done with a session, that's it. Come back tomorrow. How to customize your learning with spaced repetition flashcards.

The most common way to quiz yourself with flashcards is simple. You see the word in your target language and check if you know the meaning. But there are other ways to quiz yourself too. In the settings, you can choose from three modes. Listening, hear the word and check if you understand it. Production, see the translation and try to recall the word in the target language. Recognition, see the word and check if you know its meaning.

You can use one, two, or all three modes to learn even faster. So if you haven't tried learning with spaced repetition yet, give it a try. It's a guaranteed way to learn new words and remember them for good. And in the grand scheme, you'll learn much faster and spend less time on the actual vocab study.
