My 7 Rules For Using Anki (For Language Learning)

- In this video I lay out my own 7 rules for using flashcards for language learning, which are the following:
1. Use them sparsely
2. Cap the number of flashcards you add per day
3. Use them only with the most difficult words
4. Only use dead time to check them out
5. Say the word out loud
6. Check them out in an active way
7. Only use them if you are actively studying the language

Thanks for the video. I like to edit my cards often. As soon as I gain basic familiarity, I edit the card and make a short phrase out of the word using a new word I'm learning. "Old" becomes "He is old" which becomes "my car is not old" which becomes "why did you say I was old?" and so on. I also speak them, and write them down on paper as I do each one.
Thanks for sharing!
so, the problem i have with "comprehensible input", is finding it. by that i mean, most comprehensible input videos ive seen are in fact incomprehensible. your mind can't process new information fast enough, you're not speaking, absorbing, repeating, making use of it. your mind knows what you need and dont need. a visceral relationship has to be established, or your mind won't bother keeping it around long.
2:57 A horrible thing for my roommate to overhear out of context 😂
my pronunciation might be confusing, true hahaha
😂
This video is very well made and super informative! Thank you for this!
Glad to hear!
I like Anki and flash cards in general. I think it’s fun to make your own flash cards from material you’re using but to be honest unless it’s a graded reader it probably has vocabulary that won’t be so common the moment I switch to a different author. Which is why I’m trying a frequency list deck out.
I met someone else who told me flash cards didn’t work for him because he lied to himself and told himself he got it right when he really didn’t. That blew my mind but you said the same thing in your video. This gets me wondering how honest the average person is with themself. I mean, it’s just a flash card - really?
I guess it is better to use the trick I mention in the video in order to prevent lying to ourselves
Great video! A rule that I like to follow is only add cards for words that I've actually studied/encountered. I've seen multiple people suggest downloading pre-made decks and using them to learn new words (for the first time) rather than review old words. From what I understand, that approach goes against the whole point of spaced repetition where you're supposed to re-encounter words right before you forget them.
Agree! I actually never use pre-made decks
I'm going to ignore all of this advice and learn the entire German dictionary
sounds like a good idea!
Hahahahahaha😂
Ich wünsche dir viel Erfolg dabei. ❤
Excellent video and very well spoken! And just wondering, what is your musical instrument?
Great video man, I really like your channel, I'm using anki myself and I came up with a possible rule number 8 which is to put the definition of the card in a language that is neither my mother tongue nor English (German in my case) and the answer in French (which I'm learning right now) so I can practice both at the same time
Thanks! I would not do that though. I like to keep it simple and just focus on one language at a time. But hey, if it works for you, then keep on going with it!
Thanks for your video, something I´d like to ask you about the 7th advice is, Why someone not interested in a language would spend time in that language?
If I´m not interested in that language I will not lose my time with it
Why no screen shot ?
My tip is to only add words/phrases to your deck as you discover them in the wild and have context for them rather than just adding stuff for the hell of it. It's tempting to, say, add a load of words to do with the body in one go, but there's no context to back them up.
I am totally folowing you dude just because you are from Uruguay, I am from Argentina but very far from buenos aires.
Bien ahí!
From those seven rules, what is the one that you deem to be more relevant? Let me know on the comments below 👇
Can you please tell me what anki settings you use for your language learning
Might make a video about it!
cool video
thks
I love hic accent is similar to Luca
Glad to hear!
10% with flash cards and.. others 90% ?? What to do?
Listen to podcasts and read texts repeatedly
damn you are latin
latino vibes
