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:
| Exercise | Description |
|---|---|
| Gap fill | Complete sentences by filling in the missing word |
| Single choice | Select the correct answer from multiple options |
| Multiple choice | Select all correct answers from multiple options |
| Pills | Arrange 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.

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

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:
- Timing reviews optimally - You review just before you would forget
- Strengthening memory - Each successful recall makes the memory more durable
- 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.
