Our Methodology

Spaced Repetition (SRS)

Spaced repetition is an evidence-based learning technique that incorporates increasing intervals of time between subsequent review of previously learned material. Our algorithm tracks your performance on every word and schedules reviews right before you are predicted to forget them. This maximizes the 'spacing effect' and ensures long-term retention with minimal study time.

Active Recall

Passive reading is inefficient. LearnWord forces you to actively stimulate your memory during the learning process. By presenting a definition or a sentence with a missing word, your brain works harder to retrieve the information, which strengthens the neural pathways associated with that vocabulary.

Contextual Learning

Words do not exist in isolation. Memorizing a dictionary definition often leaves learners unable to properly use a word in a sentence. We provide rich, real-world examples for every vocabulary item. You learn the nuances, collocations, and pragmatics of a word naturally, just as a native speaker would.
