Common misconception
Once a word is learnt, it stays in the memory forever.
Words need revisiting from time to time in order to not disappear from the memory.
Revisiting words to keep them in 'mi vocabulario' also requires practise at home. Students can do this by naming things at home or while outside in Spanish or through an app.
