Five habits for memorising vocabulary

2026-10-16

Preventing forgetting matters more than cramming. These habits help.

1. Spaced repetition

Review a word just before you would forget it. Our flashcards work this way: “Again” brings a card back soon, “Easy” later. Progress is saved in your browser.

2. Learn in sentences

Every word page has example sentences. Read them aloud.

3. See kanji in context

The kanji pages show readings and the N5 words using each kanji.

4. A little every day

10–20 new words a day plus reviews is plenty; too many new words inflates your review load.

5. Use what you learn

Write one or two sentences about yourself with new words. Active use makes memory last.
