Built-in review

Remember what you learn.

Each word comes back just as it starts to fade, so what you learn adds up instead of slipping away.

Remember a word, and the next review moves further out.

Miss it? It comes back sooner for more practice.

How we calculate

  • Everyone takes the same classes you set. Each class goes over the last class's words once.
  • Memory follows FSRS-6, the model HanyuGuide schedules reviews with. It is the same for all four learners; only when they review is different.
  • The first time a word is taught, 70% are answered right, 10% easily, and 20% wrong and then right.
  • HanyuGuide: studies new words the day they are taught, then reviews each word when the app brings it back.
  • 15 min a day: every evening, rereads the words from the last 2 weeks in order. Older words never come back.
  • Crammer: 30 min each evening in the week before a midterm (week 13) and a final (week 26), on that semester's words.
  • Lessons only: nothing outside class.
  • Each answer takes 10 seconds. A wrong answer is tried again, so it counts twice. Class time is not counted.
  • Words you remember is how many you could recall right now: each word's chance of recall, added up.
  • Real learners vary. The model's settings come from flashcard learners in general, not yet from HanyuGuide learners.
