Tag: spaced repetition

Spaced repetition is a highly effective learning technique that involves reviewing information at increasing intervals of time. This tag is dedicated to explaining this method and demonstrating how it can revolutionize your language learning by strategically timing your reviews to combat the forgetting curve and ensure that new vocabulary and grammar rules are moved from your short-term to your long-term memory. Our articles break down the principles of spaced repetition and offer practical advice on implementing it, whether through dedicated flashcard apps like Anki or a simple, manual system, helping you discover how to leverage this technique to make your study time more productive and retain what you learn for a lifetime.

A Complete Guide to Spaced Repetition Systems

Spaced Repetition Systems (SRS) are a powerful, science-backed learning method that helps you remember information longer by reviewing it at increasing intervals. Based on the spacing effect and Ebbinghaus’ forgetting curve, SRS improves long-term retention, saves study time, and boosts learning efficiency. This article explains how spaced repetition works, explores its benefits, compares popular tools like Anki, Memrise, and Quizlet, and shares strategies to maximize results, especially for language learners.

What Is the Leitner System?

The Leitner system is a powerful spaced repetition method that helps you memorize more effectively by reviewing difficult material more often and mastered items less frequently. Developed by Sebastian Leitner in 1972, it uses a simple box-based flashcard system to strengthen memory and boost long-term retention. This guide explains how the system works, why it’s so effective, and where you can use it online through platforms like Anki, Quizlet, Brainscape, Memrise, and LanGeek.
