FAQ
What is GoGetC2.com?
It’s a simple, ad-free website where you can create your own flashcards to learn any foreign language.
The first month is free so you can see what’s available after logging in, and the following months cost $1.50 per month.
What are flashcards?
They are word–meaning pairs. Instead of a single word, you can also use whole sentences — it’s completely up to you.
The word can be in your target language and the meaning in your native language, but the meaning can also be written
in the target language using a description,
example sentences, or synonyms. You decide everything. The GoGetC2.com website does not impose any restrictions.
Who is GoGetC2.com for?
It’s for people who study a foreign language systematically and regularly — for example, by
taking online lessons, watching content in a foreign language, or living abroad. The website helps
you memorize new words, phrases, or idioms through regular reviews — first more frequently,
for example after 3 days, then less often, after 2 weeks or a month, and finally only occasionally, maybe once a year.
Does GoGetC2.com use artificial intelligence?
No, GoGetC2.com does not use artificial intelligence. During each flashcard review, you decide how well
you remember the word and whether you consider it common, for example in movies. For instance, with the
expression a cog in the machine, if you see it for the first time, review it again after 3 days, then maybe
after 2 weeks, later after a month,
and eventually once a year. Sometimes you might hear someone say it in a movie, for example an FBI agent,
but it’s quite rare.
You can also schedule it to repeat every three days if the expression
is difficult for you, since you’re fully in control of everything.
Why doesn’t GoGetC2.com use artificial intelligence?
Because flashcards primarily train passive memory — that is, understanding words rather
than actively using them in speech. That’s why you’ll almost always choose the correct answer,
at first with more difficulty, but over time effortlessly. Unfortunately, this doesn’t mean you’ll
start using the word or expression actively when speaking. That’s why we can’t completely give up on repetition.
On many other websites, it’s the algorithm that decides when a review will occur. If you keep answering
a flashcard correctly, the algorithm will eventually assume you’ve mastered it and will never show it to
you again. That’s exactly how I lost understanding of many words. They were very complex, and I always
clicked the right answer — but now, three years later, I don’t even remember what those words were.
There were quite a few of them, and the only ones I still recall are stunt, watershed moment, and
flamboyant. There were many more.
That’s why reviewing each flashcard at least once a year or every two years is a good idea. Don’t let
an algorithm decide that you’ve already learned something,
because it will never show it to you for review again — and in three years, you’ll forget what it even was.
