Cómo estudiar esta lista
Añade cinco o seis palabras al día en lugar de las doce de golpe, conserva la frase de ejemplo en la tarjeta y repásalas cuando toquen. WordNest programa cada palabra en siete intervalos crecientes —el mismo día y luego 1, 3, 7, 14, 30 y 60 días— para que la lista siga contigo meses después. Lee cómo funciona la repetición espaciada si quieres el razonamiento detrás de esos números.
