How it works

One concept. Five ways in.

When something does not click, it is usually the explanation, not you. Every topic here is explained several ways, then turned into study tools.

1. Understand it

School style

A clear, step-by-step lesson with vocabulary and worked examples, the way a good teacher would explain it.

Plain English

The same idea in everyday words, as if a friend were explaining it to you.

Fun comparisons

Movies, TV shows, games, sports, friendships, proverbs, idioms and jokes that map onto the concept.

Pictures and diagrams

A visual for every concept, with a written description for screen readers.

Memory help

Mnemonics, rhymes, stories, memory palaces and โ€œtrap alertsโ€ for the mistakes everyone makes.

2. Practice it

Flashcards

Flip, recall and space your reviews.

Cheat sheet

One page. Everything you need.

True or false

Fast yes/no questions with reasons.

Matching game

Pair them up against the clock.

Practice questions

Step-up questions with explanations.

3. Keep it

Each lesson ends with a 3-week memory plan you can add to your calendar, because reviewing a little, a few times, beats cramming. Flashcards schedule themselves: miss one and it returns soon, nail it and it waits longer.
