Frequently asked questions
How does a study day work?
The recommended order is reviews first, then new vocabulary. Mixed practice and graded reading unlock from the percentage of this level you have introduced; that percentage is not called mastery. Open Customize Study to pause, cap, reorder or reschedule each module independently.
Every word carries the same Again, Hard, Good and Easy grades as the flashcards and vocabulary list. Mark a word done to stop its reviews, or use remind me to choose a gap yourself.
Due words are cleared one at a time, by giving them a longer gap or marking them done. There is no finish-day or skip step: unfinished work stays on the list, and a clear day offers Study ahead.
What happens if I miss a day?
New words wait for you. Anything left unmarked is still first when you return, so a week away does not silently skip part of the list.
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. Clear the current assignment and choose Study ahead to pull the next list into this sitting. The day strip on your Today page also jumps back to re-mark something you studied earlier.
How fast can I finish C1?
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 447 days | Relaxed | 10 words a day | about 14.7 months |
| 224 days | Steady (recommended) | 20 words a day | about 7.4 months |
| 112 days | Fast | 40 words a day | about 3.7 months |
Can I study C1 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.
Can I study the list as flashcards?
Yes. Switch today's list from List to Cards and the same words come one at a time: the German on the front, the meaning, an example sentence and the same four scheduling grades on the back. A word marked on a card is marked in the list, and the other way round.
After clearing the cards, choose Increase today’s limit to add extra new words. This also expands today’s list. Unused extra slots expire at local midnight, and your usual daily target stays the same.
The C1 flashcard deck is the other way in. It deals from this list, in this order, and writes to the same record: a word you answer in the deck is a word this plan shows as scheduled, and a word you mark done here never comes up as a card. While a plan is running the deck stops introducing new words at the end of today's list, so the two cannot drift apart.
What is recall mode?
In the list view, 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 C1 plan cover?
At the steady pace of 20 words a day, which finishes C1 in 224 days. Words follow the same order as the C1 vocabulary list, commonest first, so you can browse ahead any time.

What happens after the last C1 word?
The plan keeps going as maintenance. New words are the one part that can run out. Reviews still come due on their own dates, and mixed practice and graded reading keep the cadence you set for them, drawing on C1 items you have not seen recently.
Your day card stops promising a finish date and reports the whole list as introduced. Keep it as it is, change it in Customize Study, or leave the plan; your marked words stay either way.
Do I need an account for the plan?
Yes, a free one, with Google or with an email address. Pick a finish time above, then sign in to start. The C1 word list, flashcard deck, reading texts and practice questions need no account.
Where is my plan saved?
In this browser and on your private account record, so it is there on any device you sign in on, and clearing this browser's site data does not lose it. See the privacy page for details.
