How it works: Choose it. Recall it. Speak it.

1

Choose it

Be pragmatic and selective: pick the topics you really need, from the café to the Ausländerbehörde. Skip the rest.

2

Recall it

Type the missing word in a real sentence. Spaced repetition brings each sentence back just before you would forget it.

3

Speak it

Knowing a word isn't saying it. In the Speaking Gym you say whole sentences out loud and see how accurate and how fast you were.
