The Science Behind Spaced Repetition

Our flashcard system uses the SM-2 algorithm, the same proven method behind apps like Anki. This algorithm optimizes your study schedule by showing cards at precisely calculated intervals, maximizing retention while minimizing study time.

Active Recall

When you see the front of a card and try to remember the answer, you're engaging in "active recall"— actively stimulating memory during learning. Studies show this is 150% more effective than passive review.

Optimal Intervals

The SM-2 algorithm calculates personalized review intervals based on your performance. Cards you know appear less frequently, while challenging cards appear more often—optimizing your study time.

Ease Factor

Each card has an "ease factor" that adjusts based on your ratings. Consistently easy cards have longer intervals, while difficult cards are reviewed more frequently until mastered.

JLPT-Focused

Our vocabulary sets are carefully curated from official JLPT word lists. Each card includes example sentences to help you understand usage in context—exactly how vocabulary appears on the exam.

Frequently Asked Questions About Spaced Repetition

Our flashcards use the SM-2 (SuperMemo 2) algorithm, which schedules cards based on how well you know them. Cards you struggle with appear more frequently, while mastered cards appear at increasing intervals. This optimizes your study time by focusing on what you actually need to practice.
