Practice that builds on what you know.
Your vocabulary sets the starting point.
A short quiz estimates your vocabulary. As you review words, Apera uses that evidence to adjust practice and choose new words.
Related word forms share progress.
Reviewing one form gives related forms partial credit. Apera still checks them individually when needed.
Your own reading counts too.
After reading a page, mark it as read. Apera gives the words you have already studied a small amount of review credit.
