Insights and your week

Charts of how your vocabulary is growing, where answers slip, which verb tenses need work, and a weekly summary.

Insights shows how your language is growing and where to spend your next ten minutes.

The top of Insights: time range, direction, and cards for words known, accuracy, study streak and time studied.
  1. The time range: the last 30 days, 90 days, or all time.
  2. Both directions, or only English → Italian or Italian → English.
  3. Words known, accuracy, study streak and time studied.
  4. Your week: a summary of the last 7 days.
  5. Words known over time, with an estimate of when you’ll know all 1,000 at your current pace.

The rest of the page

  • Packs: your progress in each themed pack.
  • Reviews coming up: words due each day for the next week. See Daily reviews.
  • Study activity: a square for each day of the last 26 weeks, darker the more you answered. Today is at the right; on a phone, scroll left for older weeks.
  • Recall vs recognition: how often you’re right typing the language (recall) against typing the English (recognition). Recall usually trails by a few points; it’s the one that matters for speaking.
  • By word type: accuracy and words known for nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs and the small function words.
  • By skill: accuracy for each kind of form, weakest first, with a link to practice the weakest.
  • Hardest words: the words you miss most, with a dot for each recent answer.
  • Where points slip: what went wrong in answers that weren’t right: a wrong ending, a different word, no answer, or only an accent.

Verb tenses

Every verb you’ve practiced against every tense, from your latest answer to each form typed in Italian.

The verb tenses table: each verb against each tense, shaded by how much of the table you have right.
  1. Your weakest tense, with a link to drill it.
  2. All verbs: your score in each tense across all of them. Below, a row per verb: pale for under half the table right, darker for half or more, darkest for the whole table, and dashed where you haven’t practiced it.

Tap a cell to drill that verb in that tense. See Verb drills.

Your week

Open Your week from Insights or from the card on Home. It compares the last 7 days with the 7 before.

Your week: words that became known, answers, accuracy and time against the week before, answers by day, words turned around, and next week.
  1. Words that became known this week, and how many new words you met.
  2. Answers, accuracy and time studied, each against the week before.
  3. Your answers on each day.
  4. Turned around: words you’d been missing that you got right every time this week.
  5. Next week: how many reviews are coming, the words to watch, and buttons to practice them or start today’s review.
