spaced retrievalreview right before you forget
every word comes back for review just as it's about to slip your memory - not on a fixed daily loop. that's the real reason you don't need a streak: the schedule already knows when you need each word.
how it works & why
no streaks. so what
actually makes it work?
every guilt trick laaby refuses, it replaces with something a teacher would actually recognise. here's the how - tap the science on any point for the why.
spaced retrieval
frequency-firstthe words that actually carry a conversation
a small set of words does most of the work in real speech - and it's a different set in each language. laaby teaches the high-payoff words first, in an order built for that language, so you can say something useful early.
words in contextwords live in sentences, never on lonely flashcards
you never meet a word on its own. every word turns up inside real sentences you read, hear, and complete - and it comes back in different ones, because meeting a word across varied contexts is what makes it stick.
produce, don't tappractise the skill you actually want
recognising the right option in a multiple choice isn't the same as saying it. laaby makes you produce - fill the gap, take dictation, read a short story, and actually talk out loud, with laaby replying.
error diagnosticsit adapts to your mistakes
laaby watches the shape of your errors - not just right versus wrong - and shifts the mix toward whatever's actually tripping you up. your practice bends around you, not a fixed script.
calm is a methodcalm isn't just kinder - it's better learning
the no-streaks, no-guilt stuff isn't only nicer to live with - it's what the science recommends. you set the session length; short, spaced, low-stress practice beats anxious cramming every time. laaby rests when you do.
method over guilt.
