How to learn a word, not just look it up

  • How spaced repetition works

    Memory lets a word go along a curve. Spaced repetition schedules the next flashcard just before the word slips, so every repeat buys more time than the one before it.

  • Learning Lithuanian as an English speaker

    Seven cases, no shared vocabulary and a stress mark nobody writes down. What is genuinely hard about Lithuanian for an English speaker, what is easier than advertised, and the order that works.
