Stop reviewing the words you already know.
Every flashcard app promises repetition. Almost none of them decide when. Lingio schedules each card from your own recall history, so a word you nailed twice does not come back tomorrow, and a word you fumbled does.
What makes the queue different
You might know what Tisch means and still guess its article. Those are two cards with two separate intervals, because they are two separate skills.
The scheduler models forgetting and fits its parameters to your review log. Most flashcard apps still run a hand-tuned algorithm from 1987.
New cards per day and target retention are yours to set. Push retention up before an exam, drop it after.
Recognising the right answer among four is not recall. Most drills make you type the form, and grading forgives a real typo.
Drill only the Goethe B1 Themen you are weak on — Arbeit, Gesundheit, Reisen — instead of the whole list.
The wordlist, the morphology, and the example sentences are already there. You turn levels on and start.
- Meaning
- gehen → to go
- Stammformen
- gehen · ging · gegangen
- Präsens
- ich gehe · du gehst · er geht
- Perfekt
- Ich bin nach Hause gegangen.
- How is this different from Anki?
- Anki is an empty box: you build the deck, write the cards, and decide what a card even tests. Lingio ships the Goethe wordlist with its morphology already attached, and turns each word into up to twelve pre-built drills. You get the German-specific cards — article, plural, genitive, principal parts — without authoring a single one.
- What does FSRS actually change?
- It predicts the day your recall of a card is about to drop below your target retention, and schedules the review for that day. A fixed-interval or SM-2 scheduler guesses instead, which means it shows you easy cards too often and hard cards too late.
- Can I train just one drill type?
- Yes. Turn the others off. If your articles are the only thing failing you, drill der/die/das alone and the queue will contain nothing else.
- Does typing a word wrong by one letter count as a mistake?
- No. Free-text grading normalises the answer before comparing, so an obvious typo is not marked as a forgotten card.
- How many new words should I take per day?
- The default is deliberately conservative. Raise it only if you can clear the resulting review queue every day — an unmanageable backlog is the most common reason people quit spaced repetition.
Your first queue is one click away.
Pick a level, pick your drills, and let the scheduler decide what you see tomorrow.
