The method · SRS

Remember words at exactly the right moment

Spaced repetition is the science of reviewing a word right before you'd forget it — the quiet engine underneath every deck in Lingo Chill.

The forgetting curve
Memory fades fastest just after you learn something. A well-timed review flattens that curve, so the word slips away slower every time.
Active recall
You're asked to remember, not just re-read. Pulling a word back from memory is the effort that actually strengthens it.
Growing intervals
Answer correctly and the next review is pushed further out — a day, a week, then months — until the word is yours for good.

Learned in a video, not on a flashcard

A word you meet inside a real scene gets tied to what you saw, the voice that said it, and the moment it happened. Those extra threads are what your brain follows back to the meaning — far more than a word sitting alone on a card.

Put the word back into the exact line you first heard it in.
Shadowing
Repeat after the speaker and get scored on how close your voice lands.
