What it does that most language templates don’t

We read 149 reviews of other language templates. Learners praise the simple ones, and what they ask for most is a place for words and a way to go back over them. That’s where this one starts.

A review date on every word

Click Got it and the word waits longer before it comes back: 2 days, then 4, 7, 15, 30 and 60. Click Again and you see it tomorrow.
Today’s words, ready as cards

Review today on the main page shows only the words that are due. Missed a day? Late words stay there until you get to them.
A card for each language

Your level and goal, today’s minutes against your daily goal, your streak, the last 7 days and how many words you know.
More than one language

The sample has Spanish and Japanese side by side. Every word, session, grammar note and resource belongs to one language.

We set it up from a fresh copy, the way you’ll get it: cleared the sample, added a language with the New language template, logged a session, saved a word and checked it came up the next day, then brought the sample back.

What’s inside

The main page has a card for each language, the words to review today, this week’s study sessions and the resources you’re using now. Vocabulary, Study log, Grammar, Resources and Guides each have a page of their own.

Word pages

Got it and Again sit under the word, next to when it’s due. Below are the meaning, how to read it, an example sentence, the topic and where you found it.

Language pages

Level, goal and goal date, your daily minutes, an exam date if you have one and why you’re learning. The lines on the language card come from here.

Questions

Does it work on the free Notion plan?

Yes, all of it.

Can I learn two languages at once?

Yes. Add a page for each one under My languages. Each has its own card on the main page, and you choose the language on every word and session.

How are the review dates set?

A new word comes up the day after you add it. After that, each Got it in a row waits longer: 2 days, then 4, 7, 15, 30 and 60. Again brings it back tomorrow and starts the count over. Five in a row and the word counts as known.

Does it work for Japanese, Korean or Chinese?

Yes. Type the word in kanji, hangul or Chinese characters and add how it sounds in Reading. The Japanese sample words show how.

Can I bring in a word list I already have?

Yes, on a computer. Open the three-dot menu on Vocabulary and choose Merge with CSV, then select the new rows and set the language for all of them at once. Spread a long list over several Added dates so it doesn’t all come due on one day.

Can I review on my phone?

Yes. In the Notion app, open Review today and tap Got it or Again on each card. Add the planner to your Favorites to reach it quickly.

Where does the template go after I pay?

You download a Start here PDF from Etsy with the template link. Open the link and click the Duplicate icon at the top of the page, and the copy is yours to keep and change.
