Study settings
Your dictionary
Your dictionary fills itself: words at your level are added as you study. Everything in it is in play — each word has a stage and its own date for the next encounter. You can add your own word at any time, and it joins the same schedule as the rest.
Where words come from
- From sessions — new words at your level are added as you work through material.
- By hand — you can look up and add any word yourself.
- From materials — words in texts, dialogues and breakdowns can be taken into your dictionary as you read.
Your level sets the boundary of the material: words above it do not enter sessions. A word added by hand bypasses that limit — you have explicitly said you want it.
Tags and collections
These are ways to group words you have already added, not a separate source. A collection does not add words to your dictionary and does not create new ones — it gathers existing ones so they are easier to work with.
Grouping does not affect the review schedule: a word in a collection comes back on its own due date, not together with the rest of the collection.
A bigger dictionary means a longer queue
Every word you add is not one encounter but a series of reviews stretching months ahead. So build your dictionary with an eye on how much time you can give to studying: a hundred words added in one evening return as a hundred reviews.
