Why spaced repetition is the best way to build English vocabulary

English has one of the largest active vocabularies of any language - estimates range from 170,000 to 750,000 words depending on how you count. But fluency doesn't require all of them. The 3,000 most frequent words cover over 95% of everyday written and spoken English. The challenge is converting passive recognition into active recall - understanding a word when you read it versus producing it when you write or speak. Spaced repetition flashcards are designed specifically for that conversion.

How spaced repetition works for English vocabulary

Every English word you study is tracked individually. The SM-2 algorithm schedules each review based on your recall quality: a word you recalled immediately gets a longer gap before its next review; a word you hesitated on or forgot gets a shorter gap. Over time, words you know well appear less frequently; words that still trip you up stay in regular rotation.

3,000 frequency-ranked English words

Vocabingo's English vocabulary is ordered by corpus frequency - the words appear in the order you're most likely to encounter them in real text and conversation. Essential words come first. Each word is paired with an example sentence showing it in context, and the card hides the answer until you attempt a translation.
