Language vocab seems a good use case. What other things are people here using spaced repition for?

For language learning I find that using longer phrase fragments is better than single words.

The advice with gendered languages is to always learn the word alongside some context that includes its gender, e.g. "Der Tisch" (The masculine table) rather than merely "Tisch->Table".
