This article will talk about some behind-the-scenes stuff and will also introduce the "Library" tab.

All of the sentences in Glossika go through two tagging processes.

  • One set of tags is semantic in nature. These tags concern the ideas expressed in a given sentence, and they help us to categorize our sentences into topics.

  • The other set of tags is syntactic in nature. These tags specify the function of each word within a sentence, and they are partly responsible for the order in which sentences within a given level are presented to you.

For now, we just want to assure you that there is a reason you're seeing the sentences you see, as random as they might seem. 

If you'd like to see this "under the hood" in more detail, check out The Glossika Method.

The "Library" tab

Note: We changed the name of the ''Memory'' module to ''Library'' for the Glossika apps, reflecting its nature as a place that houses your lists and sentences.

Click on the "Library" tab located in the top-left (web) or bottom-mid (iOS/Android) region of your screen to access your Library.

From here, you can interact with the sentences you have already learned in a few ways:

  • Memory Strength — This is how confident Glossika is that you remember a particular sentence. This is one of the factors our system uses to schedule sentences for later review.

  • Native Audio — Click the blue audio icon to hear the native speaker's recording of any sentence.

  • Personal Recordings — Click the orange audio icon to hear recordings you have made of a sentence. (While you're here, compare your recording with the natives! How well do they match? Is there anything you can do better next time?)

  • Triple-dot icon — Add a sentence to your favorite list, mark a sentence as easy to remove from your future reviews, or report a sentence you're unhappy with.
