Your part
Recall the answer, reveal it, and rate how well you remembered.
01 · GERMAN SRS FLASHCARDS
Remember German with an SRS (Spaced Repetition System)
Lingoban helps you understand expressions, practise speaking, and review what you learned. Its FSRS algorithm schedules your next flashcard review from your card state, ratings, and elapsed time.

FSRS’s part
Calculate when each card should appear for review again.
One learning loop
Understand with analysis cards → practise with shadowing → recall in review.
02 · SPACED REPETITION
Meet a card again. Leave time between meetings.
An SRS (Spaced Repetition System) brings learning material back over time. FSRS is the scheduling algorithm that calculates those intervals.
Beyond familiarity
A recently seen answer can feel familiar without being easy to recall later.
Try retrieving it
Leave time, then check whether you can bring the answer to mind without seeing it.
Different cards, different intervals
Each card’s state and your ratings help determine its next review.
03 · HOW FSRS WORKS
No mind reading. A model of your review results.
FSRS stands for Free Spaced Repetition Scheduler. It estimates three aspects of a card’s memory state to help schedule reviews.
Difficulty
How difficult the card is to learn.
Stability
How long its memory is expected to last.
Retrievability
The estimated chance of remembering it now, based on time and card state. This is an estimate, not a direct measurement.
04 · WHY USE IT?
Give familiar cards room. Give difficult cards attention.
Card-by-card scheduling reduces the work of deciding what to revisit and when. Your review results help shape the next interval.
When you remember
Successful recall informs the next schedule. Familiar cards can receive longer intervals.
When you forget
Choose Again honestly. The forgotten result is reflected in relearning and future scheduling.
What Lingoban does
Lingoban uses shared FSRS parameters with individual card states and ratings. It does not train a personal model or guarantee a retention rate.
05 · YOUR REVIEW FLOW
Think first. Reveal the answer second.
Try recalling the meaning or German expression in your head or aloud. Then reveal the answer and compare before choosing your rating.
1 · Recall
Read the prompt and try answering without looking.
2 · Reveal
Show the answer and compare. Revisit the meaning if needed.
3 · Rate
Choose Again, Hard, Good, or Easy. FSRS uses the rating and card state for the next schedule.
Check the answer, then rate how well you recalled it. Review intervals depend on the card’s state and your rating.
06 · FOUR RATINGS
These are signals. They are not your grades.
Choose how recall actually felt. There is no need to select Easy just to look successful.
Again
I forgot the answer or got it wrong.
Hard
I recalled it correctly, but with difficulty.
Good
I recalled it with reasonable effort.
Easy
I recalled it quickly and effortlessly.
07 · SRS QUESTIONS
Forgot a word? There is room to begin again.
Review helps you discover what needs more practice. It is not a punishment for forgetting.
What if I miss a day?
Return to your review queue and continue. The actual review time and card state inform the next calculation.
Will I remember everything?
No schedule can promise that. Understanding, attention, and continued practice still matter.
Does shadowing finish a review?
Listening and speaking practise a different skill. Complete the answer reveal and rating in review to record recall.
08 · KEEP LEARNING
A little recall today. Another chance to remember.
Open a saved deck, check which cards are due, and take them one at a time. Let FSRS handle the schedule while you focus on learning.
