How do you memorize HSK 3 Chinese Vocabulary Word List without forgetting it?

Tomaru is the vocabulary app that schedules reviews with spaced repetition. Add this list and you get these three things.

  1. Tomaru decides what you study today

    Open the app and today's new words and due reviews are already there, with a time estimate. No planning on your side.

  2. Weak words come back more often

    Recall first, then check. Words you miss return sooner, words you know move further out, so the time goes on what you have not learned yet.

  3. You never reread the whole list

    Spaced repetition puts each review just before you would forget, so what you have covered leaves only a few due words a day.
