Lessons

Each lesson teaches one thing and takes about twenty minutes. They're written against your actual diagnosis, so the order matters — work through them in sequence. Opens in a new tab; this one keeps your place.

Reference sheets

The compressed version, built for looking things up rather than reading through. Prints cleanly — worth keeping one next to your editor.

Add a word

Type a word and look it up — the definition, part of speech, phonetics and synonyms come from Wiktionary, and if it has no example sentence one is pulled from the Tatoeba corpus instead. Everything stays editable before you save.

Import a spreadsheet

Excel (.xlsx), CSV or TSV. Columns are matched by their header names where possible and you can correct the mapping before anything is added. A word and a definition are required; everything else is optional.

Your words

Daily new words

How many unseen words enter the rotation each day. Lower it if reviews pile up.

Appearance

Saved against your account on this device. OLED black is pure #000 with lifted contrast — on an OLED panel those pixels are switched off entirely, so it is genuinely darker than the standard dark theme rather than just a shade down.

Pronunciation

Press P on any card, or the speaker button. Human recordings are used where Wiktionary has one — English single words only; phrasal verbs, idioms, anything multi-word, and the whole Arabic deck fall back to your browser's speech synthesis, so every entry can still be heard. Saved per language and per device, since the available voices come from your operating system.

Your account

Each account has its own deck, review history and added words — nobody else can see them. Reviewing itself never waits on the network: everything saves locally first and syncs in the background, so a dropped connection mid-session costs you nothing.

Backup

Works with or without sync. A file export is the only copy that survives losing your sync code, so it's still worth doing occasionally.

How the scheduling works

Cards are scheduled with SM-2, the SuperMemo algorithm that Anki's scheduler grew out of. Each card carries an easiness factor starting at 2.50. Recall it well and the gap to the next review multiplies by that factor; fail it and the card resets to one day and the factor drops (floor 1.30). First two successful intervals are fixed at 1 day and 6 days. Original spec ↗
