Methodology

Spaced repetition

Reviewing a word at growing intervals, one day, then a few days, then weeks, makes it stick with far fewer repetitions than cramming.

Why it works

Memory fades on a predictable curve, and each successful recall at the edge of forgetting makes the memory last longer. This spacing effect is among the most reliably reproduced findings in learning research.

In Lumasto

A schedule per word

Lumasto uses the SM-2 schedule: how easy you found a word decides when it comes back.

Due words first

Your review session starts with what is due, so no time is spent on words you know well.

Lapses are handled

A word you forget returns sooner, and the interval grows again as you recall it.
