Build the course in order.
Split a deck into sections, one per unit. Learners start with the first, and the next opens once they know most of it, so nobody meets unit six on day one. Anyone ahead can start the next section early.

Repetition that works.
Memory fades. Recalling something at the right time strengthens it and lets the next gap grow. Lymi uses each learner’s grades to decide when every card comes back.
- Reviewed with Lymi
- Learned once, never revisited
Recall
Recalling beats rereading
Lymi asks before it shows the answer. Trying to remember something makes it stick better than reading it again, as Roediger and Karpicke found in 2006.
Spacing
Longer gaps, longer memory
Spreading reviews out helps you remember for longer. In 2013, Dunlosky and colleagues rated testing yourself and spacing out practice as highly effective.
Fill decks from the tools you already use.
Send a lesson plan to Claude or ChatGPT and it adds the cards for you. Lymi also has a public API, so you can bring in a list from a spreadsheet, add cards from your course platform, or show what’s due on your class site.

Questions from teachers.
- Can learners change the deck?
- No. Only you add and edit cards. Learners review them, and each keeps their own schedule and history.
- Can I see how each learner is doing?
- No. Each learner’s reviews stay private to them. Lymi is a place to practise, not to be graded.
- Is it only for languages?
- No. A card can hold anything worth remembering: a term, a date, a formula, a chord. Language cards can also be said aloud.
- Is it for schools?
- It’s made for tutors and small classes. There are no rosters, assignments or grades.
