- One fact per card. Write each answer in Cyrillic once after recalling it — reading and producing the alphabet are separate skills.
- 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 · What is active recall? · How many flashcards per day?.
