    Ebbinghaus and the forgetting curve

    Forgetting is often explained with the "forgetting curve" (also called the Ebbinghaus curve), named for German psychologist Hermann Ebbinghaus, who studied it in the 1880s. The curve describes how memory of what we learned fades over time.

    Research on the forgetting curve suggests we may forget roughly 65% of new material within a day of learning, and up to about 75% after a week. That is why language study can feel like constant forgetting and slow progress. Without the right method, effort can be erased quickly.

    How to learn faster and remember more

    To help you escape the learn-and-forget trap, we built MyLingo Tutor—a smart, efficient system made to speed up language learning and boost retention. It builds a dedicated learning curve for each word you study and schedules reviews at the best times so you review the right material at the right moment, reduce forgetting, and learn more easily.

    The chart below shows how MyLingo Tutor tracks your learning curve, schedules reviews at the right times, and strengthens long-term memory.
