How to learn a word, not just look it up

  • How spaced repetition works

    Memory lets a word go along a curve. Spaced repetition puts the next review 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.

Reading it once is not learning it
