How to actually learn these words

  • Say every word out loud as you flip it — silent review builds recognition, speaking builds recall.
  • Use spaced repetition: review right before you'd forget. Our study mode schedules each card automatically.
  • Go both directions: English → Italian is the one that helps you SPEAK; don't skip it because it's harder.
  • Little and often beats cramming: five minutes a day outperforms an hour on Sunday.
