How reviews work

Path to Words schedules your reviews.

I.

Spaced repetition, without extra drills.

Path to Words uses FSRS to set a due date for each card. Easy cards wait longer. Difficult cards come back sooner.

FSRS-5, the scheduling algorithm

II.

Start with a deck, add your own words.

Use CEFR themed decks, or add words from class, songs, street signs, or conversations. Any language pair works.

CEFR decks, custom cards, list import

III.

Examples, when they help.

When a word has examples, they stay simple and useful. No stiff sentences, no filler.

plain examples for learners

How one review works

One word, three practice modes, one measure of progress.

Each new word begins with an easier exercise, then moves through more demanding ones as you learn it. Click through to see what changes.

The ball shows how firmly a word is remembered: from "New" to "Solid" in 7 steps. At most one rating per day moves it forward, so reaching "Solid" takes several days.

Any language pair

Use the languages you need.

Add words in any script and review them in one place. It works in all directions.
