Spaced repetition explained

How Roxxem's spaced repetition system schedules your vocabulary reviews to maximize long-term retention.

Overview

Spaced repetition is a study technique that shows you words right before you are likely to forget them. Roxxem uses it automatically to help you retain vocabulary long-term without extra effort.

How it works

  1. When you study a new word, Roxxem schedules it for a review in the near future.
  1. If you answer correctly during a review, the next review is pushed further into the future.
  1. If you answer incorrectly, the word is scheduled again soon.
  1. Over time, words you know well appear less often, and difficult words appear more often.

What this means for your lessons

  • Each time you open a song or start a lesson, Roxxem shows you the words and lyrics that are due for review.
  • You do not need to manage a review schedule yourself — it happens in the background.
  • Consistent daily study gives the best results because it keeps your review queue manageable.

Reviewing outside lessons

  • Go to your Progress page or Word Tracking section to see words due for review.
  • You can review all due words for a specific song, for a specific language, or across all your studied content.

FAQ

Can I review a word before it is due?

Yes. Visit the Word Tracking section and select any word to study it immediately.

What if I miss a few days?

Words that were due will accumulate. When you return, Roxxem will surface all overdue words. A few short sessions is easier to catch up on than one very long one.
