Linea doesn't hand you the answer: it asks what you think first.
You reach for the meaning. The pause is where the learning happens.
No crutches. No instant answers. You work for the meaning - that's the point.
Why it works
Active recall over passive lookup
Retrieving meaning before seeing the answer doubles long-term retention. Roediger & Karpicke, 2006
L2 first, translation last
Monolingual definitions build deeper word knowledge. Instant translations aid short-term comprehension but hinder lasting retention. Knight, 1994; Laufer & Hadar, 1997
Progressive disclosure
Revealing information in stages reduces cognitive overload and improves learning efficiency. Sweller, 1988
Deep context through etymology
Understanding word origins and cultural roots builds richer mental models and better recall. Schmitt & Zimmerman, 2022
