Description

Description

SuperMemo is the original software based on the spaced repetition system (SRS) algorithm, designed for maximum efficiency in long-term memorization. It is not a pre-made course but a powerful tool that allows you to create your own flashcards and learning materials. It is renowned for the effectiveness of its algorithm but also notorious for its steep learning curve and dated user interface. This tool is best for highly dedicated, self-directed learners who want ultimate control over their study material.

Flowently is a service that connects language learners with tutors for live conversation practice in realistic settings. The premise is to learn by doing, with sessions often taking place in cafes, markets, or online, focused on a specific task like ordering food or asking for directions. It is an excellent way to build conversational confidence and apply learned knowledge in an authentic context. It operates on a pay-per-session basis and is best for supplementing other study methods with practical speaking experience.
