  2. Flip it

    Review a study set with digital flashcards and practice at your own pace.4

  3. Study 'till it sticks

    Choose the right meaning in different kinds of questions. Sparko remembers the words you need to practice more and brings them back as you learn.127

  4. Test yourself

    Take a quiz and get a grade that shows what you know, then try again until you get it right.16

  5. Temporary set

    Sparko notices the words you often get wrong and saves them to a temporary set for later practice.3
