Review what matters. Daily.
Spaced repetition flashcards across verbs, idioms, slang and vocabulary — rate each card and the app resurfaces it at the right moment.
Start your daily review
The biggest predictor of language retention is whether you review material at the right intervals — not whether you studied it once. GermanVault's Daily Review applies spaced repetition to everything you've encountered in the app, bringing cards back just as you're about to forget them. A short daily session is worth far more than an occasional long one.
Spaced repetition — the science of remembering
Spaced repetition is a learning technique backed by decades of memory research. Instead of reviewing everything every day, it shows you a card more frequently when you're struggling with it and less frequently once you know it well. The four rating buttons — Again (completely forgot), Hard (remembered with effort), Good (remembered), Easy (effortless) — tell the algorithm exactly how to schedule the next review for each item.
All content types in one session
The Daily Review pulls from verbs, idioms, slang and vocabulary — the same content you browse in the rest of the app. You can filter to a specific category (All, Verbs, Idioms, Slang, Vocabulary) or review everything together. The card counter at the top (e.g. "1 / 10") shows your progress through the session.
Listen and look up
Each verb card has a Listen button that plays the pronunciation, and a View conjugation link that opens the full conjugation table without leaving the review session. This means you can hear a verb and see all its forms in context at the moment you need them, which reinforces the connection between sound and form.
Daily limit keeps it sustainable
Free users review up to 20 items per day — enough to build a real habit without overwhelming. Premium users get unlimited daily review, making it suitable for intensive study periods like exam preparation.
Works with your streak
Completing your daily review counts toward your weekly streak. The streak system in GermanVault tracks how many consecutive days you've been active — one of the strongest predictors of long-term progress in language learning.
