How to Use These Flashcards

  1. Use spaced repetition. After flipping, rate the card honestly — Try again, Got it, or Easy. The next review is automatically scheduled (1 day → 6 days → longer).
  2. Switch modes daily. Recognition (word → meaning) trains comprehension; Recall (meaning → word) trains production; Pronunciation (audio → spelling) trains listening.
  3. Open audio every time. Hearing the word with each review boosts retention more than reading alone — especially for vowels and stress patterns.
  4. Learn in word families. Use the dictionary link to see the noun/verb/adjective forms; learning all forms together is roughly twice as efficient as memorising in isolation.

Tips for B2 Learners

B2 vocabulary is denser per topic. Slow down to 15 cards a day but spend more time on each — read the example sentences aloud.

Frequently Asked Questions About B2 Flashcards

How long does it take to learn B2 vocabulary?

Most learners reach comfortable B2 recall in 3 to 6 weeks at 20 cards per day with spaced repetition. The progress widget at the top of this deck tracks your daily count.

Should I study every card or focus on the top words?

Start with the "Most Important Words to Master" section above — those are the highest-frequency entries at this level. Once you score "Easy" on most of them, expand to the full deck.

How does the spaced repetition schedule work?

When you rate a card, the SM-2 algorithm picks the next review interval — 1 day for "Try again", 6 days for the second "Got it", and longer intervals as your ease factor grows. Cards you struggle with come back sooner.
