Frequently asked questions
How does a study day work?
Always the same shape: work through the reviews that are due, then learn what's new. Every word carries two controls, done if you already know it, or remind me in 1, 3, 7, 16, 35 days.
Due words are cleared one at a time, by giving them a longer gap or marking them done. Nothing clears a whole list at once.
What happens if I miss a day?
New words wait for you. Days advance when you finish them, not by the calendar, so a week away leaves your plan exactly where you left it.
Reviews are the exception. They come due on real dates and roll into the next day you show up, stacking up the way an Anki backlog does.
Can I study ahead, or go back?
Both. Finish a day and start the next one immediately, as many as you like in one sitting. The day strip on your Today page also jumps back to re-mark something you studied earlier.
How fast can I finish A2?
Three finish times to pick from. The daily list is worked out from the one you choose, and you can change it whenever you like.
| Finish in | Pace | Daily list | That is |
|---|---|---|---|
| 79 days | Relaxed | 10 words a day | about 2.6 months |
| 40 days | Steady (recommended) | 20 words a day | about 6 weeks |
| 20 days | Fast | 40 words a day | about 3 weeks |
Can I study A2 alongside another level?
Yes. Every level keeps its own plan, pace and day count, so starting this one leaves any plan you already have running exactly where it is.
What is recall mode?
One toggle blurs every meaning in the day's list so you can self-test. Click a blurred answer to check yourself, click again to hide it. Each field reveals on its own, so checking one word does not spoil the next. It starts on, since the point of the day's list is to test yourself. Switch it off and it stays off.
What does each week of the A2 plan cover?
At the steady pace of 20 words a day, which finishes A2 in 40 days. Words follow the same order as the A2 vocabulary list — commonest first — so you can browse ahead any time.
| Week | Days | Vocabulary |
|---|---|---|
| Week 1 | Days 1–7 | Words 1–140 |
| Week 2 | Days 8–14 | Words 141–280 |
| Week 3 | Days 15–21 | Words 281–420 |

Where is my plan saved?
In this browser, not on a server. There is no account and nothing is uploaded, which also means the plan does not follow you to another device and clearing site data resets it.
