How do I use the “practice” tab, especially the options: Mode, Length, Source? I started today and I don’t know how to use this tab perfectly. I have over 100 words in the deck, but I don’t know how many I should see every day, maybe all of them?
You are free to practice as much or as little as you like each day. Obviously the total number of words + phrases you have in your account will limit the amount you can practice. Most users read more than they do practice sessions and so it’s expected that they won’t get through all their words in the practice sessions, and I think that’s fine.
For some languages, words will be prioritized based on their frequency/usefulness, and a spaced repetition system is used to schedule words which you recall correctly further into the future.
Mode: this switches between different kinds of practice sessions. Classic Flashcards mimics traditional flashcards. Blitz offers multiple choice challenges, and Mastery is similar to Blitz but adds typing challenges.
Length: the number of words/phrases to include in the session
Source: choose a specific text to practice vocab from (only works if you’ve translated at least 6 words from that text) or all your words
