Any lainons using Anki here? If you use Anki feel free to ask questions, discuss learning strategies, share your riced Anki, share add-ons and everything Anki related. Don't know what Anki is? Anki is a FOSS for creating flash cards using a system called Spaced Repetition with an active community on the creator's forum, r/anki (reddit is soykaf tho) whomstd continuously try to improve the software. Anki's features are appealing as they are but you can do so much more with it nowadays. It's available for Windows, Mac, Linux, Android, IOS and there is a web version too. You can find it at: https://apps.ankiweb.net/

I've tried it a few times, but flash cards don't really seem to be my thing. I'm on my fourth or fifth try with the deck and setup here: https://djtguide.neocities.org/anki.html Was thinking recently of collecting all the vocab from other language services I use and making a deck that I can add to more and more as I go along but I'm a bit stupid and unmotivated

>>18445 >flash cards don't really seem to be my thing No lain don't fall for that, Anki is a one time investment. The problem with Core decks are that you don't understand them. You see for effective flash cards in language you should already have a sense for the words (like adding お　for respect at the beginning of the word) most of these stuff are picked up but your brain. Then you should have some 250 to 400 words under your belt this is achievable by doing RTK (RTK tries to promotes it's own method but people in the community including my self all have their variations). You can keep going in this pace by doing a deck called sister kanji (by a weird vtuber calledd cure dolly ig) but I wouldn't recommend that to anyone as most people get bored. The problem with yomichan is obviously immersion, immersion is hard if you aren't used to it (i'm still getting used to it btw) there are some tools like morphman, MIA tools and etc that you'll find with research. Speaking of research: While you're doing this you should learn about Anki and how it works. Read about the forgetting curve, leitner box, and memory researches +memory techniques like mind palaces . https://www.invidio.us/watch?v=1XaJjbCSXT0 (watch this video) it's a good starting point. I highly recommend watching matt vs japan Read the docs: docs.ankiweb.net for add-ons watch glutaminate and visit the reddit page from time to time. ask questions or whatever reddit is soykaf but the community is awesome, heres the rss feed: https://www.reddit.com/r/Anki.rss

>>18448 Thanks for this, lain. I've got your whole reply copied to a text document to dissect and look into in detail tomorrow after work. Maybe it'll be more helpful with more context behind how it works and all. I've basically just been trying (and failing) to go through that one deck as is a couple times a day or something. I wish Duolingo's Japanese course wasn't so awful...

>>18444 I have used anki for greater than 6 years with over 30k flash cards across topics like Physics, Mathematics, Computer Science, Languages, and Information Technoogy. My current work load is ~600 cards per day with a runtime of approximately 2 hours . I pass this time listening to podcasts. If I focus exclusively on flashcards I can do these cards in approximately 1 hour. This time frame is so short because a large number of flash cards are language cards (single vocab recall/recognition) or cloze deletions. I have found that Anki/ SR is excellent for declarative learning tasks but not sufficient to keep you sharp on procedural/algorithmic tasks (Ie. linear differential equation solving, parametrizing line integrals.) What does alice study?

>>18498 OP here, I'm currently at 802 cards per day the subjects I study are: Language: Farsi, Arabic, Japanese(RTK almost done), Some out there English stuff Programming Languages: HTML/CSS/JS(Mostly JS), Python and C++(This is mostly algorithms not the language itself) I wrote an script which asks me at random how this syntax is in X language which makes my programming cards wayyy more effective. Some theology Math Symbols (used in math and physics they are in a made-up syntax which are used by an add-on) Even though I agree with the declarative vs procedural dichotomy, I think we should really be careful in what we mean since you can do more with Anki than only repping ( the declarative side which most people associate it with) This is how I use it differently: I use it to memorize my mind palaces Incremental reading Synoptic reading Math/Coding kata: these are the HARDEST questions for me in math/algos that take me a loooong time. I take my time to choose them, the idea is that the question should have enough subjects covered in a special order that breaking it down and having it memorized would help in solving other questions with simple mutations. As for procedural the action should be somewhat randomized and unlike Anki it should use a fixed spacing (unlike SRS which is expanding). I currently do this with a task manager (task warrior) with jopling but I might switch to tiddlywiki. The current work flow is to set a bunch of things that I want to learn to specific days odd/even and weekends. My hugest problems are 1) having a large problem set in math/physics/chemistry/aglos 2) randomizing questions in a way that doesn't completely go over my head. I really appreciate long time users like yourself. I was using anki sporadically during 2015~2018, 2019 was kinda me getting really into it and 2020 I almost feel one with it. If you're ok with it I'd like to be in touch with you, which method of communication to you prefer?
