Study and review
Studying with flashcards
Lingaku schedules cards with spaced repetition: each answer decides when the card comes back. Study sessions need an account.

Starting a session
A session can study one deck, a course’s words, your lookups, or everything at once with Today’s study (see Daily study and goals). By default a session hands out cards you have not reached Known with yet, and mixes a few new cards into the reviews.
The card
The front shows the word, an example sentence with the word marked and the card’s hint. The word and the sentence can be clicked for popups.
Show keywords (Space) turns the card: its reading, meanings, notes and examples. Cards in your own decks can be edited or deleted from there.
Answering
| Answer | Use it when |
|---|---|
| Again | You did not know it. It comes back in a few minutes. |
| Hard | You knew it with difficulty. |
| Good | You knew it. |
| Easy | It was too easy; it comes back much later. |
Each button shows when the card would come back. Hard and Easy are hidden by default and can be turned on in the study options.
An answer cannot be undone. Previous card goes back through the cards you answered to look at them again; the only change allowed there is unsuspending.
Learning new words in a drill
With Learn new words in a drill first on (the default), Today’s study introduces new words as a drill of up to 10 cards before the reviews. A drill has only Again and Good. Again brings the card back a few cards later without scheduling it; Good schedules it.
Ending a session
A session ends when its cards run out, or when you stop it. The summary shows how many cards you studied, the share right first time, and the cards grouped by answer. After Today’s study it offers more new words or more reviews past your goal.
