Why a topic you finished comes back

Flashcards with spaced repetition work; they’re a proven way to learn new vocabulary. The schedule brings words back at smart intervals, so you remember them. OkeeTalk applies the same system to topics.

So here the thing that comes back is the whole topic, and the goal is not to memorize words from it, but to speak and notice what’s changing. From my own experience, speaking the second and third time on a topic is easier. I pause less, sometimes remember sentences from the previous rep, and add more details.

The Repeat section brings topics back on the third day, in a week, and in a month. And coming back to a topic doesn’t mean doing the same exercise again — a topic has five of them, so the repetitions stay interesting.
