Why this works

EverFlip’s Mandarin course is 372 flashcards across 26 decks, each scheduled by the FSRS spaced-repetition algorithm. For reference, the US Foreign Service Institute estimates about 2,200 class hours (88 weeks) of study to reach professional working proficiency in Mandarin (Category IV — Super-hard (the hardest tier for English speakers, with Mandarin among the very hardest)).

The method is evidence-based: spacing your reviews over time produces far more durable memory than cramming (Cepeda et al., 2006, Psychological Bulletin), and retrieving an answer beats re-reading it (Roediger & Karpicke, 2006, Psychological Science). See why flashcards work.
