Spaced Repetition

Learning a language isn’t just about exposure, it’s also about retention. That’s where spaced repetition comes in. This scientifically backed technique helps you remember vocabulary, grammar, and phrases by reviewing them at carefully timed intervals.

Spaced repetition spreads out your learning over days, weeks, and months. Each time you successfully recall a word or concept, the system waits longer before showing it again. This strengthens your memory and reduces the need for constant review.

🧠 Why It Works

• Leverages the forgetting curve: You review items just before they fade from memory.
• Boosts long-term retention: Words stick better when recalled multiple times over time.
• Saves time: You focus only on what needs reinforcement, not what you already know.

🌱 In Practice

Imagine learning the Japanese word 「水」(mizu, water). You see it today, again tomorrow, then three days later, then a week later. Each successful recall strengthens your memory, making it second nature when you hear it in conversation or see it in a Robototo scene.

Spaced repetition turns memory into momentum. And when paired with engaging content like ours, it transforms passive review into active mastery.
