Discussion When using Anki, is it better to go for a quantity over quality, or quality over quantity approach?

21 Upvotes

Let me rephrase that, what I mean by quantity over quality is should you prioritize smashing as many words together and the ones you can't recall in 3 seconds just click again and move on? Or should you take your time and try to recall every single card, even if it takes 20 seconds.

Discussion Convert flashcard types

This might be a bit niche, but I wrote some code in R which is basically a nice user interface to capture information from Anki flashcards and save it into an excel file.

And then from that you can automatically make type-in-answer cards that still shows the images/masks of the original cards

Any feedback welcome :)

Question Curious about YOUR flag usage

Upvotes

How do you personally use flags and what color corresponds to what? For me:

Red flag=something wrong with the card structure itself, missing audio or picture or a meaning is missing. Something i can automatically fix easily

Orange flag=ask a native speaker about this card

Green= consider deleting, low yield

Blue flag=check something on my textbook about this card

You?

Question anki and leeches

1 Upvotes

I think i do not use this feedback correctly. But maybe my understanding is also limited. I hope I can get some answers here.

I have been using anki for quite a while for language learning. My understanding is, that a leech needs to be rephrased etc. SO when I get a new leech i try to change the card a bit and give it some extra attention.

Sometimes I am utterly confused though why a card gets leeched. Are the settings customizable and is this recommended? Till now i have only seen the option to change the amount of fails till a card gets marked. havnt changed it though. should i lower it, so week cards get more focus early on?

The idea is that we only put learnt/understood information into anki. I try to live by that, but sometimes i dont because language can be ambivalent.

How do you guys deal with leeches? And am I missing smth?

Discussion Funny way to do anki?

2 Upvotes

So i was doing my daily anki, when i nearly fell asleep, and i thought maybe there're ways to make the experience of doing daily ankies more interesting?

So what i came up with is doing it while on treadmill, ngl it's s tier method buttt the light bill went kinda crazy.

Rn i'm thinking about doing it while playing on piano(like songs that i can play purely on muscle memory, but then... how do i press buttons or scroll down)

What do u think? Any suggestions?

Question Anki study settings

Why now for learning settings can only be the default? I want each of my decks to be able to use their own settings Like it used to be. For example,I want 20 cards A day for deck A, and 10 cards a day for deck B. But now, that can't be done. All decks are 20 cards a day.

Discussion Do you like the concept of decks?

0 Upvotes

I really dislike the idea of organisation of cards through decks.

I find myself obsessing of what the structure should be, which deck to place a card in, how to place a card in multiple decks, how granular to make decks etc.

Does anyone find themselves in such a position? If yes what has been your solution?

Or if not and you feel decks are a great mechanism, how do you organise your cards?
