## The Learning Stages

Your vocabulary items move through these stages as you learn. In "daily" exercises you get presented with vocabulary items according to their interval.

| Stage | Interval | Description |
|------|----------|-------------|
|  New | 1 day | Just added vocabulary |
|  Stage 1 | 3 days | Recently learned |
|  Stage 2 | 1 week | Reinforcement |
|  Stage 3 | 2 weeks | Consolidation |
|  Stage 4 | 1 month | Deep learning |
|  Stage 5 | 2 month | Mastery |
|  Learned | 3 months | Fully learned |

## How It Works

### Answer Correctly

When you correctly identify a word during an exercise:
- The word **moves forward** to the next stage
- The interval until next review **increases**
- This helps you focus on words that need more practice

### Answer Incorrectly

When you make a mistake:
- The word **moves back** one stage
- The review interval **decreases**
- This ensures you practice challenging words more often

## Customization

All intervals and rules can be customized:

- **Adjust intervals** for each stage
- **Change how many attempts** it takes to move up a stage or get demoted
- **Skip stages** You can also manually move items to a stage

## Visual Progress

In the dashboard, the app displays your progress visually:
- Stage indicators show current status
- Progress bars track advancement
- Statistics display overall mastery
