It doesn't work great for language learning, speaking a language is way more than just remembering words. Similarly, being a great programmer is not about how much syntax you can remember. Getting better at speaking a language means speaking in it all the time. Same thing for programming - if you want to improve, your time is better spent doing actual programming rather than memorizing syntax.
