  • Like most skills, Language learning requires frequent review to move information from your short term memory to your long term memory. That’s why we have the vocab refresh feature, which keeps track of every word and phrase you’ve learned with us. Our system will automatically remind you to review words and phrases you haven’t seen in a while. Refresh your memory, store away the words you remember successfully, and get extra practice with the ones you don’t recall quite as easily. It may seem like a step backwards, but reviewing is the best way to move forward! #languages #languagelearning #transparentlanguage #transparentlanguageonline #cl150 #practicemakesperfect
