Multilingual Vocabulary Retention Tracker
Formulas
The Multilingual Vocabulary Retention Tracker uses the following formula:
- Retention Rate = (Number of Retained Words / Total Words Learned) × 100
- Session Efficiency = Retention Rate × (1 – (Missed Sessions Impact / Total Sessions))
- Where Total Words Learned = (Number of Retained Words / Retention Rate) × 100, and Missed Sessions Impact = (Total Sessions – Effective Sessions) / Total Sessions (assumed 90% session effectiveness)
How to Use
- Enter the total number of learning sessions in the “Number of Learning Sessions” field.
- Enter the number of words you retained in the “Number of Retained Words” field.
- Optionally, use the language buttons to simulate practice (e.g., click to focus on a language).
- Click “Calculate Retention” to see your results.
- Scroll to the “Results” section for detailed calculations.
- Use the share buttons to share your retention score or embed the calculator.
Examples
- Example 1: Sessions = 10, Retained = 80
Retention Rate = (80 / (80 / 0.8) × 100) × 100 = 80%
Missed Impact = (10 – 9) / 10 = 0.1
Session Efficiency = 80 × (1 – 0.1) = 72% - Example 2: Sessions = 20, Retained = 150
Retention Rate = (150 / (150 / 0.75) × 100) × 100 = 75%
Missed Impact = (20 – 18) / 20 = 0.1
Session Efficiency = 75 × (1 – 0.1) = 67.5% - Example 3: Sessions = 5, Retained = 20
Retention Rate = (20 / (20 / 0.6) × 100) × 100 = 60%
Missed Impact = (5 – 4.5) / 5 = 0.1
Session Efficiency = 60 × (1 – 0.1) = 54%
