Question 1

What is SRS Deutsch?

Accepted Answer

SRS Deutsch is a spaced repetition system (SRS) web application for learning German vocabulary. It uses the scientifically-proven SM-2 algorithm to schedule flashcard reviews, helping you memorize German words efficiently with their genders, plurals, and example sentences.

Question 2

What is spaced repetition?

Accepted Answer

Spaced repetition is a learning technique that optimizes when you review information. Instead of cramming, you review cards at increasing intervals based on how well you remember them. This approach is proven to improve long-term retention while minimizing study time.

Question 3

Is SRS Deutsch free to use?

Accepted Answer

Yes! SRS Deutsch offers a free tier with essential features including 15 AI example sentences per day, 10 pronunciations per day, and up to 3 decks with 100 cards each. Paid plans are available for users who need higher limits.

Question 4

How does the AI example generation work?

Accepted Answer

Our AI generates contextual example sentences for any German word you add. These examples include translations and native German pronunciation. The Full Access plan also offers vocabulary-controlled examples that only use words you already know.

Question 5

What dictionaries are available?

Accepted Answer

SRS Deutsch integrates with multiple dictionaries: LEO (German-English and German-Russian), WikDict (offline German-English/Russian), and FreeDict (offline German-English). You can search any of these and add words directly to your decks.

Question 6

Can I import/export my vocabulary?

Accepted Answer

Yes! You can import vocabulary from CSV files and export your data anytime. We also offer JSON export for complete data portability, including your review history and settings.

Question 7

How do the review grades work?

Accepted Answer

After seeing a card, you rate your recall: Again (forgot it), Hard (struggled), Good (remembered), or Easy (too simple). The SM-2 algorithm adjusts the next review interval based on your rating, showing difficult cards more often and easy cards less frequently.

Question 8

What is Practice Mode?

Accepted Answer

Practice Mode lets you review cards without affecting your SRS schedule. It's great for extra practice before a test or when you want to reinforce specific vocabulary without changing your review intervals.

Question 9

How many new cards should I learn per day?

Accepted Answer

We recommend starting with 10-20 new cards per day. This is adjustable in Settings. Learning too many new cards at once can be overwhelming, so find a pace that works for your schedule.

Question 10

How do I change my email or password?

Accepted Answer

You can change your email and password in the Settings page under Account Security. For password changes, you'll need to enter your current password for verification.

Question 11

Can I delete my account?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Go to Settings and scroll to the Danger Zone section. Account deletion is permanent and will remove all your decks, cards, and learning progress. We recommend exporting your data first.

Question 12

How is my data protected?

Accepted Answer

We use HTTPS encryption, secure password hashing, and follow GDPR guidelines. Your data is never sold to third parties. See our Privacy Policy for complete details.

Question 13

Does SRS Deutsch work offline?

Accepted Answer

SRS Deutsch is a Progressive Web App (PWA), so it can be installed on your device. However, most features require an internet connection. Offline dictionary lookups are available with WikDict and FreeDict.
