Stacked vocabulary flashcards showing Apprendre, Aprender, and ๅญฆไน  with pronunciation guides - BitLingo custom vocabulary deck builder

BitLingo is built around your vocabularyโ€”not ours. Hereโ€™s a fast workflow to go from idea to a practice-ready deck using audio flashcards for language learning.

Step 1: Pick a narrow theme

  • Travel: airport, hotel check-in, food orders.
  • Work: industry jargon, meeting verbs, common questions.
  • Exams: frequency lists for CEFR/DELE/HSK.

Limiting scope to 20โ€“40 words keeps sessions short and repeatable.

Step 2: Add words with smart prompts

  • Enter the target word plus a short cue in your native language.
  • Add a quick usage note only if it helps recall (e.g., gender, polite form).
  • Keep entries terse so audio playback is clean and easy to repeat.

Step 3: Set playback for recall

  • Enable shuffling to avoid order memorization.
  • Choose a pause length that lets you repeat twice.
  • Turn on slower playback for brand-new words; speed up once confident.

Step 4: Test and trim

  • After one session, archive words you own and replace with new ones.
  • Track โ€œstumblesโ€ by quickly re-adding them to a micro-list for later.

Why this beats generic curricula

  • Relevance: every minute reinforces words you need right now.
  • Retention: small, themed sets are easier to keep in long-term memory.
  • Flexibility: swap lists per contextโ€”commute list, weekend list, business trip list.

Next steps

Build a deck today, practice tonight, and adjust tomorrow. Thatโ€™s the loop that keeps vocabulary growth compounding.
