- One fact per card. Always card nouns with their article (der/die/das) — gender is far easier to learn upfront than to repair later.
- Rate honestly. After each card, choose Again, Hard, Good, or Easy — the spaced repetition algorithm uses your answer to decide when the card returns, right before you'd forget it.
- A few minutes daily beats marathons. Ten new cards a day is roughly 3,650 a year, retained. Deep dives: How to learn a language with flashcards · How many flashcards per day?.
