Review & Sentence Playback

Review closes the loop: spaced repetition fights forgetting; sentence playback preserves context.

Where Does the Queue Come From?

Words marked “unknown” during study enter the review queue. Spaced repetition schedules them roughly at:

  • 1st review: ~1 day after learning
  • 2nd: ~3 days
  • 3rd: ~7 days
  • Later: ~30 days and beyond (exact algorithm is in-app)

Successful recall lengthens the interval; failures shorten it.

A Typical Review Session

  1. Open Today’s Review or Due;
  2. See (or hear) the word—try to recall meaning and usage first;
  3. Self-check, then reveal the answer;
  4. Tap Play original sentence: jump to the video moment from first study;
  5. Rate remembered / fuzzy / forgot so the next interval updates.

Why Sentence Playback Matters

Words are easier to retain in meaningful context. Playback restores tone, tension, and comic timing—not just a dictionary gloss.

If a word stays fuzzy, return to Learning Session and read more surrounding lines in the same episode.

Why This Design?

Without sentences, words become abstract symbols. Prism Lines keeps a one-tap back to the line on review so each word reconnects to the scene you watched. Background: Why Learn This Way.
