Card Types

Polyglotton uses various card types to help you learn:

• Translation Cards: Translate phrases from source to target language
• Reverse Cards: Translate from target back to source
• Multiple Choice: Select the correct translation
• Fill-in-the-Blank: Complete sentences with missing words
• Listening: Hear and translate spoken phrases
• Story Fragments: Learn in context with short stories

Spaced Repetition

The app uses spaced repetition to optimize your learning:

• Cards you struggle with appear more frequently
• Mastered cards show up less often
• Your progress is automatically tracked

Tips for Success

1. Set Realistic Goals

Don’t rush! Language learning takes time. Focus on consistency over speed.

2. Create Personalized Lessons

The more relevant the content is to your life, the better you’ll remember it.

3. Practice Daily

Even 10-15 minutes per day is better than long, infrequent sessions.

4. Use Multiple Card Types

Different card types work different skills. Mix them up for comprehensive learning.

Privacy & Data

All your lessons and progress are stored only on your device. We don’t have accounts, tracking, or cloud sync. Your learning is completely private.
