How to use Pinguingo when you have lessons

Lessons give you a steady stream of new vocabulary, but most of it leaks out before the next class. Pinguingo’s job is to hold on to those words for you, so when you walk back into class, you’re already half-fluent in last week’s material.

The loop

1. After class: capture the new words. Snap a photo of your handout, paste them in, or type them out by hand if there’s only a handful.
2. Between classes: Pinguingo drips them to you on WhatsApp. You answer easy, normal, or hard. Hard words come back sooner; easy ones space out.
3. Next class: you already recognize the vocabulary, so the teacher’s time goes to grammar, conversation, and the new material instead of re-explaining last week’s words.

Capturing class vocab fast

• Take a picture. Open the camera flow in your dashboard and shoot the handout. We’ll extract the words and let you pick which ones to add.
• Upload words. Paste a list straight from your notes app or a PDF.
• Edit Your List. Remove anything you already know, keep the rest.

Time it to your class schedule

Aim to add new words within a day of the lesson while they’re still warm. Then let Pinguingo do the heavy lifting in the days before your next class. You should feel the words coming back to you as the next session approaches.

If your teacher provides the list

If your class shares a vocabulary list each week, you can usually just upload it directly. If your teacher uses Pinguingo as a tutor, you won’t need to upload anything. See using Pinguingo when you have a tutor.
