I used Anki wrong for a year (language learning)

I do 2 new per day. That's enough

Does this also apply to learning political geography? Like learning the name of every country?

Bro is talking about anki like it was a covert crack habit

Hey, how old are you?

Esse vídeo é muito útil

Great advice!

Thanks bro. Your reminder of using context sentences for study vocabulary is really helpful. Nice video!!

I can change the ''new interval'' to 0.50? I'm in a different version (2.1.60), the max is 2,00

First of all, anki just the app to help you remember vocabulary, don’t waste your time on it so much. Keep listening and speaking together

Kiddo don't think in terms of cards but in terms of words (or whatever you're learning). I learned languages before the Anki and to me is useful just for the 2 things: hiding the opposite meaning and not allowing twice to enter the same word. Anki is just one of the means for the job and I am not particularly interested in Anki but in underlying stuff.

Hello

I dislike the video because i can see how stressed you look. You look young but your eyes look exhausted. Take a break broski there is more to life

Do you manually enter the words you do not know in the series you watch into Anki or is there an easier way?

This video makes me sad. I don't want to rag on you for making it. I just advise everyone to read the Anki manual in depth, along with SuperMemo's "Effective learning: Twenty rules of formulating knowledge." Also keep in mind "SuperMemo" appears in the Anki manual ten times.

Agreed about immersion first. I'm having a much easier time being able to recognise certain words already instead of starting from scratch and I'm less discouraged. Thanks for the video.

Thanks :')

Thanks for your helpful tips.

My OCD hopes that after a year of uploading this, he fixed "restorán" to "restaurante".

You saved me from going down the flashcard rabbit hole. Thanks!

Thanks for the hint on the algo used by Anki. I have figured out how to use the app on my own, but the card selection was an unknown ;)

How is you Mandarin today? Did Anki help you? I see a lot of videos saying flash cards don’t work.

do speak clearly, please!

But u didn’t say how to make Anki cards quickly and not waste time doing them

There is an addon called "Language Tools", it automates the card creation process...
Nowadays I can add 20 sentences a day, without much work.
I recommend.

Great tips man! Thanks a lot

I want to learn Czech. So should the 'question' be in Czech and the 'answer' in English? Or should it be the other way around? Or should I do both?

My tip: Don't be afraid to even set new cards to 0 when Anki gets too overwhelming. Wait until old cards get more mature so that your daily reviews decrease. Anki is only efficient if you actually do it. It wont help you if you drop it because you're too burned out.

Love the bloopers at the end

love your bloopers😂

Nice tutorial! In addition to your advice on using Anki, the suggestions that you made about immersion were spot-on. I also appreciate your honesty about prioritizing your mental health, and also how you ajusted your study habits in accordance--Good job!

tks so much!

Buen video, Giovanni. Saludos desde la Argentina.

Good stuff man, I am also learning Spanish and Mandarin.

am getting soft from your video, thx alot. how do i make my soft more than 50sec long? I clicked loop recording, pressed the record

Thanks for the video, very thought provoking. I tried anki before and have started learning Spanish again but share your reservations about anki for languages. I think I prefer pen and paper and of course spaced repetition... but without the pressure ... life's too short - take it from me, I'm 70!

I sure agree with a lot of points you say in the video :
- Immersion/Input should be most of your time, not Anki
- use multiple definitions and exemple sentences
- use 'Again' button not 'Hard'
- Make sure to understand the word before trying to use rote memorisation on it.

Although I'm not really sure about that feature regarding the Again button. If you don't remember a word in your card, do you really want to press "Again" and be in the state of not knowing the word for 3 months ? I don't think so (unless it's an uncommon word you don't want to learn yet anyway, there you might as well suspend the card).

Is it better to put target language on the front or back? Thanks in advance!

When it comes to Again button, why not to use Hard button when you wanna stay at your level but tell Anki that you didn't guess a word, and Again button when you feel that you completely forgot a word and wanna go back to the start.

I'm recently started learning german and also using ANKI. Thanks for all your recommendations

Hi, I couldn’t make out the video you suggested watching. I think you said Matt versus something. Can you tell me or better yet give me a link to the video. Cheers.

I more or less followed the same path, until I realized that reading a good book ( in the language that you are learning) is much more efficient than using Anki. And you don't really need to make an effort to memorize anything. All you need to do is pay attention to the story and enjoy. With anki you will get tired and bored , A LOT, and you know you have to do it, because it's like homework.
A good book is another story. And when you finish your book, you can start reading the next.

Así que ahora utilizo Anki para algunas cosas, pero no para aprender idiomas.
La lectura recreativa (leer lo que a ti te guste) es mucho más eficiente.

Appreciate this video bro. I’m about to start using Anki and this was extremely helpful

How do you get on the interval?

You can join our Chinese program (a real immersion class), and then use Anki to help you remember the words.

Thank you. I am new to Anki and kinda confused how to use it effectively. Your video helps alot. the setting on Anki is so different from other apps. I was struggling how to be tested again since i pressed "hard" button alot. Now i knew why....phew.

At one point I tried to cram 150 cards in a day and I had to spend 45 minutes a day doing reviews for the next 2-3 weeks...
Instead I would suggest doing 7cards/day for 3 weeks, the result will be far better.

i cant focus because of how moist your talking sounds are
