A few phrases.
A little more confidence.
Choose a daily goal of 3, 5, or 10 different phrases. Short recall sessions start with mistakes and due reviews, then introduce new phrases toward your goal.
Practice from the whole dictionary, your favorites, or one category. Your progress is saved on your device, and unfinished games can be resumed later.
Review timing is a learning aid, not a certification of fluency. Listening uses synthesized system speech, not native-speaker recordings.

Match pairs
Pair phrases with their meanings at your own pace. Retry a mismatch and keep going until the board is complete.
Listen

Recall & review
