Ten minutes a day you will actually still be doing in March.

5,710 TOEFL words, each with a plain English definition and a gloss in your own language. You work one small set at a time and you finish it — reviews are folded into the same session, so the day never gets longer than the one you choose, even months in.

That constraint has a price and we would rather print it than hide it: ten minutes a day is about 450 words a year. Twenty minutes is about 800. Every figure on this page is a run of the real scheduler at 82% recall, not a marketing estimate.

How far can you actually get?

Not an estimate. This runs the same scheduler the app runs, and it will tell you when a goal is out of reach rather than flatter it.

300 words is not reachable in 8 weeks at this session size — about 140 is. A 43-word session would do it.

New words stop counting three weeks before the exam, because a word met after that cannot complete its reviews in time. Counting it would flatter the plan at exactly the point you can least afford to be misled.

Check what you know

The cards ask whether you knew a word, with the answer on screen. This asks the question properly, on twenty words you have already marked as learned. Anything you miss goes back into your schedule.

It earns nothing — no coins, no streak, nothing added to your fluency. That is what lets it tell you the truth.

Four levels, in the order you should meet them

Not four word lists. A ladder — each level is where it is because of what the words actually demand, measured against CEFR rather than assumed.

Or work a level instead

Every word is also banded A1–C2, so if you know your level you can go straight at it rather than following the TOEFL path.

How much you will actually learn

Most vocabulary apps quietly let reviews pile up until a ten-minute habit is a forty-minute chore, and you stop. Here the session is fixed and reviews come first, so progress never makes tomorrow heavier — but it does mean the words arrive at a steady rate rather than a heroic one. Pick the row that matches the time you will really give it.

Words retained, not words seen. If your test is in eight weeks, read the 8-week column and choose accordingly — the honest answer is that nobody learns three thousand words before a test, and a plan that says otherwise is selling you something.

What one word looks like

accommodate
to provide lodging or sufficient space for
수용하다
The new lecture hall is large enough to ________ over four hundred students.

The definition and the example stay in English — that is the thing being learned. Your language carries the meaning across, not the practice.

Why it doesn't collapse after three weeks

The day stays the day

Every other flashcard app lets reviews pile up until a ten-minute habit is forty minutes and you quit. Here, reviews come first and new words fill only the room left over. Progress never makes tomorrow heavier.

Sets end

You are never studying “the vocabulary”. You are on one named set of about twelve words, and you will finish it this week. Then it goes on the shelf and a new one opens.

A word you keep missing steps aside

After a few failures a word is quietly parked and returns much later, so two stubborn words can never hold a set — or you — in place.

Two minutes to find your level

Ten questions of the same kind you'll practise with, and it ends on a set to start — never a score. If it feels wrong, one tap moves you.

Start with the first set.

Twelve words. You'll finish it this week.
