Anki is digital version of flashcard, which uses the SRS (Spaced Repetition System), it is the presentation method that gives you the information before you would forget it, to keep the information always stays fresh in your mind. You will see the word a few minutes after first time, then some days later, and some weeks later… to keep the words always stay fresh in your mind.
