Session length
How much you review

RetainWord shows each word again just before you’d forget it. Showing it a little earlier means more reviews, but fewer forgotten words. Pick the balance that suits you; you can change it any time.

Skills to practise

Meaning is always practised. A skill you turn off is skipped, and the next one opens without it.
