Nimm fünf bis sechs Wörter pro Tag statt alle zwölf auf einmal, behalte den Beispielsatz auf der Karte und wiederhole, wenn sie fällig sind. WordNest verteilt jedes Wort über sieben wachsende Intervalle — selber Tag, dann 1, 3, 7, 14, 30 und 60 Tage — damit die Liste Monate später noch sitzt. Lies wie verteiltes Wiederholen funktioniert, wenn du die Begründung hinter diesen Zahlen willst.
