Spaced repetition
Why it sticks
Parlé schedules each review with the SM-2 algorithm, bringing a phrase back just before you'd forget it. Phrases you know stretch out to weeks; ones you miss return sooner.
No streaks to protect, no leaderboards. The scheduling does the remembering, so a few minutes a day is enough.
One phrase, remembered
Review intervals grow as a phrase settles in. Each “Good” pushes it further out.
