If you want to learn how to do anything, the first step is to start doing it. Be bad at it, and if possible, get feedback.
Once you’ve done that, repition is the name of the game. That’s where Contextable can help.
The primary abstraction in Contextable is a card. A card contains two short pieces of text: one on the front, one on the back.
While you’re reading The Count of Monte Cristo in French, you’ll encounter words you don’t know. Put the French on the front, and the English on the back.
…but it’s not very useful to remember the French verb for “to gather one’s resolve” by itself, is it?
The second abstraction of Contextable is contexts. Contexts also have a front and back, but they’re much longer blocks of text.
In a context, you can save the whole sentence containing your new word, and highlight the word you care about.
Contextable will surface all your cards for review at spaced intervals. You can see all the contexts you’ve added to that card during your review.
