Study
Answer first, then rate how securely you knew it.
Grammar, usage rank, audio, and an example sentence with each German phrase linked to its English.
Tomorrow — a new word, once you answer it right
3 days, then a week — each time you get it right again
3 weeks — and then the word counts as learned
Answering is the whole rating, so there is nothing to grade afterwards. A wrong answer moves the word one step back and returns it before the session ends, and a repeated word never inflates today's word count or earns XP twice.
Your progress
The black, red and gold route fills toward each hundred words met. Every correctly solved word is also 100 XP toward the ring's daily goal.
