What Are Points?
Points are our way of measuring your study effort — think of them like "study calories" that track your learning activities. They help you monitor your progress and maintain consistent study habits.
How Do I Earn Points?
You earn points through different learning activities:
- Listening: 10 points per minute of original audio (1 point for each 6 seconds)
- Soundbites: 25 points each on completion
- Vocabulary Review: 5 points per entry (whether you mark it learned or not)
Point Breakdown Example
Let's say on one day you do:
- 15 min, 24 sec of listening = 154 points
- Complete 2 Soundbites = 50 points
- Review 18 vocabulary entries = 90 points
Total points: 294 points
Tracking Your Progress
You can see a bar chart with your last two weeks of progress in the dashboard, or on your My Stats page (which also shows other statistics)
Tips for Success
- Set realistic daily goals based on your schedule
- Regular practice beats cramming
- Trying out what your listening and speaking skills in the real world
The points are there to help you stay motivated, but the real prize is in your success using your new language.
