Question 1

What is spaced repetition and why is it effective?

Accepted Answer

Spaced repetition is a learning technique that involves reviewing material at increasing intervals. It's based on the psychological spacing effect, which shows that we learn better when study sessions are spaced out over time. Our algorithm determines the optimal time to review each word based on how well you know it, maximizing retention while minimizing study time.

Question 2

Which HSK levels are available?

Accepted Answer

HSK Lord includes complete vocabulary coverage for all six HSK levels. HSK 1 starts with 150 basic words, while HSK 6 contains 2,500+ advanced words. You can choose which levels to study and customize your learning experience based on your current proficiency and goals.

Question 3

Is HSK Lord free to use?

Accepted Answer

Yes! HSK Lord is completely free to use. All HSK levels, spaced repetition features, progress tracking, and number practice are available at no cost.

Question 4

How much time should I spend studying each day?

Accepted Answer

Consistency is more important than duration. We recommend 15-30 minutes of daily practice. The spaced repetition system will show you which words are due for review, so your study sessions are always focused on what you need to learn most. Even 10 minutes a day can lead to significant progress over time.
