Leitner box section
One of the most important parts of the software is called Leitner Box.
The way of using the Leitner Box is like:
You will see every word that you sent to this box in the previous steps in the first box.
In this section, you will see the words you have added to Leitner first in English
and by touching the option (tap to see the answer) the translation of the desired word will be displayed.
After viewing the answer, two options will be displayed for you, “I knew” and “I didn’t know”.
If you have learned the word well and select the “I knew” option, the word will move to the next box.
If you select that I don’t know option, the word will remain in the first box.
In both cases, according to Leitner’s rule, you will not have access to the word until a certain time.
The next boxes are the same, with the difference that “every time by selecting the option I don’t know, the desired word returns to the first box”.
For example:
If you don’t know a word in the fourth step, the word goes back to the first box. Finally, the words after the fifth stage are placed in the learned box, in this case you can be sure that you have learned that word and it is in your long-term memory.
