Managing Learned Vocab
The Learned Vocab screen{{^phone}} is accessible by {{#web}}clicking{{/web}}{{^web}}tapping{{/web}} {{^mobile}}{{/mobile}}{{#mobile}}View{{/mobile}} in the Learned Vocab section of the Learning screen. This screen{{/phone}} lets you read all your learned vocab, check the status of individual vocab items, and manage archived terms.{{#web}} Depending on your version of the program, you may be able to add or edit learned vocab items, as well.{{/web}}{{#phone}} Note: All features are available with an Internet connection. They will also be available in offline mode if your data has previously been downloaded.{{/phone}}
To use the Learned Vocab screen:
{{#phone}}- Consult the graphic on the Learned Vocab screen to check how many learned vocab items you have in the current language. You can find the number of fresh, stale, and archived vocab items below the graphic.
- Use the Refresh options to review your learned vocab items. (Note: These options will only appear if you have at least one learned vocab item.) Any stale vocab items that you refresh will become fresh again. Regularly reviewing your learned vocab is an important part of the learning process, so you should refresh often. The following Refresh options are available:
- Tap Refresh All to refresh all your learned vocab items. Stale vocab items will be shown first, if you have any, then you will be given the option of continuing with fresh vocab items if you choose. Archived vocab items will not be shown. {{#web}}Clicking{{/web}}{{^web}}Tapping{{/web}} beside the Refresh All button and choosing Refresh All Vocab will have the same effect.
- Tap beside the Refresh All button, then choose Refresh 10 Most Stale to refresh up to ten of your learned vocab items that have been stale the longest. If you have no stale vocab items, you can use this option to refresh the learned vocab items that are closest to becoming stale. Archived vocab items will not be shown. If you have fewer than ten active learned vocab items, this option will allow you to refresh as many as you have.
- Tap beside the Refresh All button, then choose Refresh 10 Random to refresh up to ten randomly-chosen words or phrases from you learned vocab. These vocab items may be either fresh or stale. Archived vocab items will not be shown. If you have fewer than ten active learned vocab items, this option will allow you to refresh as many as you have.
- Tap beside the Refresh All button, then choose Refresh Selected Vocab to indicate which learned vocab items that you want to refresh. You can choose as many fresh or stale vocab items from your learned vocab as you want. Consult Selecting learned vocab items for details.
- If the button is available in the LEARNED VOCAB heading, tap it to display a list of all your learned vocab items. While the Manage Vocab screen is shown, you can do the following:

(Note: For sign languages, the learning language will be replaced with a link to view a video of the sign.)
- {{#web}}Click{{/web}}{{^web}}Tap{{/web}} anywhere in a row to display more details about a learned vocab item. If the vocab item has hints, a comment, or a transliteration, that information will appear below the text.{{#phone}} If any of the information is truncated, tap Show More to display the complete version.{{/phone}} The icon will also appear if the vocab item has an image.{{#web}} If a vocab item does not have any of these features, its row will not be clickable.{{/web}}
