The concept is basically that the more connections you make with a specific word or piece of information in your brain, the easier it will stick. And it's actually a very logical justification for spending lots of time creating an anki deck. So with that said I'll just begin throwing out tips, and I hope everyone else will to.Ĭreating Cards As Learning - This was probably the biggest revelation for me from Gabriel Wyner's book. So rather than prescribing one single method of creating an ideal Anki deck, I'd rather this thread just be a giant collection of advice and people can mix and match whatever best suits their materials and needs. There isn't one ideal Anki deck, and because building a deck can take a long time it's always a question of what decks/resources are available and is there a faster way to learn something through Anki.

And there's no lines between beginner, intermediate, or advanced, Anki keeps growing with you. It can quiz you on content in a hundred different ways, and you automatically review content you're struggling with more often, instead of having to review an entire lesson just to pick up a bit of vocab or a small grammar detail. Really the only kind of content that doesn't work in Anki is really long continuous content like books, because things need to get broken up into small chunks and then randomized.īut at its best, Anki is like the best formatted textbook you could possibly imagine. Translate a whole sentence? Fill in the appropriate verb ending? Just a friendly reminder? All appropriate uses of anki cards. That's all it is, how much, or what kind of information you're quizzed on with each card is entirely up to you and your purposes. You are given 2 chunks of content, one his hidden til you tap the screen, and then you decide how much time you want to pass before you see that content again. To me Anki is just a way of presenting and scheduling content, any content. I think it's important not to associate one specific type of content or method of study too strongly with Anki. But there are so many more things you can do with Anki and SRS besides this. Maybe if you're lucky you have pictures and sound.

I think when a lot of people think SRS they think, they think a deck full of 5000 words, you translate a word in L2->L1, then you translate the word to L1->L2, and you end up in this soul sucking routine of painful memorization each day. What are Anki and SRS? Re-framing the discussion So instead of the usual discussion of how important/useful is anki, I'd like to start a new discussion focused on making better more powerful anki decks. But there's so much more that can be done with it, and I think some are too hastily dismissing what I perceive to be a very powerful tool for language learning. The third factor is that over the last month or so I've noticed several discussions on the usefulness of anki, and it struck me that a lot of people seem to dismiss anki and SRS as a whole based on experiences with boring decks.

I don't follow his methods 100% and I'm not interested in discussing all the methods in his book, but none the less it brings up a lot useful ideas for improving Anki decks, and I don't believe all of them have been discussed on this forum yet. The second factor is that I've also recently read Gabriel Wyner's book Fluent Forever, which proposes a method heavily reliant on SRS.

The first is that I've been experimenting a lot with different methods of making better Anki Decks, and I've been really excited by the initial results. So a lot different factors have prompted me to start this topic. Message 1 of 230 August 2014 at 3:14am | IP Logged
