Learning new words is the main part of mastering a foreign language. Many students struggle with memorizing new words.
The main common barrier in learning new English words is forgetfulness. We quickly forget things which we don't use often in our daily life. For example, try to recall how many verses, historical dates you know from school time and you will see how many things you learned in the past and forgot today (unless you are a linguist or historic and memorizing verses, dates is a part of your everyday work).
Thus, we have to repeat things periodically to get them stored in our long term memory.
In 1880 the German psychologist Hermann Ebbinghaus found the forgetting curve. This curve shows how often people have to repeat information to learn it. Then programmers coded the program Anki using a spaced repetition technique. According to Anki's algorithm you learn and review materials in spaced intervals which increases over time.
We recommend you to use Anki, since it's the most powerful program to learn new things.
