		\block[titleinnersep=5mm]{Why use FALs for learning?}{Memorising vocabulary and grammar rules can consume a lot of time. \newline
			FALs help you to organise your daily learning time efficiently. \newline
			Most of the software for flashcards use memory algorithms to help memorising. \newline
			When used with these softwares, retention rate of FALs increases. \newline
			Plus the learning time is minimised due to algorithms of the software. \newline
