https://www.hackingchinese.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/glossary-1.jpg600743Spaced repetition might on the surface look like it's rote learning, but I argue that it isn't. Firstly, spaced repetition isn't about learning as such. You're supposed to use smarter methods to learn the words first and then simply review to keep the knowledge fresh. Secondly, spaced repetition won't degenerate to rote learning if you are alert and avoid cramming of any kind.
