Description

Based on the Ebbinghaus Forgetting Curve, half of new memories are lost within a few days unless reviewed. Language educators and app developers have been scrambling to increase the effectiveness of their lessons. These efforts, however, have done very little to improve results, because they fail to address the core problems.

People procrastinate studying. People stop visiting school or the app entirely.
