WEBVTT - Flashcards and spaced repetition — Mandarin Temple guide

00:00:00.600 --> 00:00:04.352
Hi, I’m Jason, Mandarin Temple’s AI tutor.

2
00:00:04.392 --> 00:00:08.540
Here’s how flashcards work: you save a word,

3
00:00:08.580 --> 00:00:12.390
and it comes back just as your memory of it starts to fade.

4
00:00:13.533 --> 00:00:16.000
Your deck lives on the flashcards page.

5
00:00:16.040 --> 00:00:20.843
It shows how many cards are due today,
and how many you have in all.

6
00:00:21.400 --> 00:00:24.880
Reviewing is free with an account, up to twenty cards a day.

7
00:00:24.920 --> 00:00:29.030
Pro, like this account, has no daily limit.

8
00:00:29.567 --> 00:00:33.047
Words come from the dictionary, from a lesson’s new words,

9
00:00:33.087 --> 00:00:37.017
or from a deck you import from Pleco or Anki.

10
00:00:37.567 --> 00:00:43.357
To add one, open the word in the dictionary
and select Add to Flashcard Practice.

11
00:00:45.000 --> 00:00:48.220
When a card is due, you see the word on its own.

12
00:00:48.260 --> 00:00:52.470
Try to recall it first, then reveal the answer.

13
00:00:53.433 --> 00:00:59.633
Then grade yourself honestly: Again, Hard, Good or Easy.

14
00:00:59.673 --> 00:01:02.823
Your grade decides when the card comes back.

15
00:01:03.767 --> 00:01:10.197
If you miss one, reveal it and choose Again,
and it comes back later in this same session.

16
00:01:10.733 --> 00:01:16.843
And a word you no longer want can be taken
out of your deck, once its answer is showing.

17
00:01:18.200 --> 00:01:24.256
That’s your deck: a few minutes a day,
and reviewing never costs a credit.

18
00:01:24.296 --> 00:01:27.590
Open your flashcards and see what’s due.
