Introduction

Anglio is a language learning app that helps you master vocabulary through scientifically-proven spaced repetition techniques. Whether you're a beginner or an advanced learner, Anglio adapts to your learning pace and helps you remember words long-term.

How Anglio Works​

Courses and Units​

Anglio organizes learning into courses and units:

  • Courses are complete learning journeys for a specific language (e.g., English for Portuguese speakers)
  • Units are bite-sized lessons focusing on specific topics, grammar points, or vocabulary themes

Each unit contains:

  • A lesson explaining concepts with examples
  • Exercises to practice what you learned
  • Vocabulary cards that become part of your spaced repetition deck

Exercise Types​

Anglio offers several exercise types to keep learning engaging:

ExerciseDescription
Gap fillComplete sentences by filling in the missing word
Single choiceSelect the correct answer from multiple options
Multiple choiceSelect all correct answers from multiple options
PillsArrange word tiles to form correct sentences

Vocabulary Cards​

When you complete a unit, the vocabulary from that unit is added to your personal card deck. These cards use FSRS (Free Spaced Repetition Scheduler) to optimize when you review each word.

The system tracks:

  • Stability: How well you know each word
  • Difficulty: How challenging each word is for you personally
  • Due date: When you should review each card next

Scenarios​

Scenarios are interactive conversations where you practice real-world dialogues. You engage with AI-powered characters in realistic situations like:

  • Ordering at a restaurant
  • Asking for directions
  • Making small talk
  • Job interviews

Scenarios help you apply vocabulary in context and build conversational confidence.

Getting Started​

  1. Choose a course that matches your target language and proficiency level
  2. Complete units to learn new vocabulary and grammar
  3. Review cards daily to reinforce your memory
  4. Practice scenarios to apply what you've learned

Key Features​

Adaptive Learning​

Anglio adapts to your performance:

  • Cards you find difficult appear more frequently
  • Cards you know well have longer intervals between reviews
  • The system learns your personal forgetting patterns

Progress Tracking​

Track your learning journey with:

  • Retention rate statistics
  • Cards learned vs. due
  • Streak tracking for consistent practice

Multiple Languages​

Anglio supports learning multiple languages, with courses designed for speakers of different native languages.

Why Spaced Repetition?​

Traditional studying often leads to cramming, which doesn't create lasting memories. Spaced repetition solves this by:

  1. Timing reviews optimally - You review just before you would forget
  2. Strengthening memory - Each successful recall makes the memory more durable
  3. Maximizing efficiency - You spend time only on cards that need attention

Research shows spaced repetition can reduce study time by 50% or more while improving long-term retention.
