I downloaded Anki years ago but I've always felt so overwhelmed by it... your video is making me feel like I can sort of wrap my head around it for the first time, than you!
Same here! I’ve had it installed on my computer and iPhones for years, but could just never really figure out how are you’re supposed to use it. I finally decided to turn to Google for help, and this video was the first thing that popped up. Interestingly enough, the deck that is imported in this video is the one that I had just read about on Reddit as being really good, and that was what inspired me to finally figure out how to use Anki.
I find a lot of videos out there that tell you the resources they used to learn japanese but they never do detailed walkthroughs of the materials and I think thats where your videos are very informative, thank you!!!
Thank you for this. I'm also using Matt vs. Japan's learning method for Japanese and while I acknowledge the guy knows his stuff, he kinda skips some steps in basic explanation sometimes. This video was a lifesaver, Anki is not a user friendly program lol.
Glad it helped! Matt’s videos first introduced me to Anki as well and I also found I had to look elsewhere to get everything up and running, so hopefully this video solves that problem!
I just started using Anki with the minna no nihongo deck to learn the vocabulary more efficiently,but this video helped me better understand how to use it. Thanks!
Thank you so much for this guide. I was intimidated by setting up anki (probably because I didn't read the website). Now I can start tackling reading kanji!
well Anki was just the most confusing, unfriendly program I had ever seen, but after this video it seems much better than I originally anticipated. thank you so much!!
Yeah they are very different in terms of the algorithm, but you'd hardly know by the way they are labeled! You can tweak the settings so that the difference isn't as prominent, but I found it was simpler to save the 'easy' button for words that I already knew very well
This has been the most useful and easy to follow Anki tutorial for me, so thank you!! I was really putting off using Anki but you've made it look so simple :)
Thank you so much! Your video was really helpful for me. The way you explained how to do it since the beggining was perfect. Sorry for bad english. Thx
thanks so much for creating this video!! I really would've been incredibly lost otherwise! Now I can get started without being overwhelmed by the technical stuff!
Great video, she is really good at explaining everything, actually great how she explains everything because something the simple things need to be explained to some people.
Really helpful - thank you! I just started using Anki and your video really helped me figure it out! I am trying out Anki now for attempting the JLPT N1 in December.
Hello, I just started and have watched a few of your videos and plan to watch more. Thank you so much for all your help because even though I was excited a few times I was like UGH already nah lolol. Then I came across your videos and so far you are number two on my list besides an instructor who teaches Japanese. Keep up the good work and I hope I see more form you soon")
Just found out about this channel and it's so resourceful! I'm just starting to use Anki and I was so confused, so this was a great help. I hope you could cover how to create your own decks and cards on Anki sometime. Thanks so much for creating these videos!
Glad you’re finding it useful! I’ll definitely be making more videos like that soon 😁 I just moved to a new place so still getting settled and trying to figure out where to film :)
Hi Alivia, great video, I was wondeirng if you could make a follow up video with your favourite decks or which decks to add after this one. keep up the good work!
After the Tango N5 deck I moved to the tango N4! Since then I have taken a break from Anki since I feel like my vocabulary base is big enough for my current goals and just doing straight immersion/looking up words as I go along :)
Thank you so much! Your way of explaining is so succinct. I would've found this intimidating to set up on my own. I imagine this will be a really helpful resource for me, yay!
Awesome Tutorial! It explains everything clearly and concisely without using vocabulary that is too complex or too simplified. I was able to keep up really easily with everything you were saying, and never felt lost, even with the fast pace of your explanations. You also demystified a lot of the key functions concerning Anki and its setup, particularly in the settings section. I was having real trouble trying to wrap my head around it and the Browser section before watching your video, so thanks a lot! :) All in all, you've made a great beginner friendly video, and you've more than earned a like and a sub. Stay great and keep learning! :D Bye!
Hi! Under the reviews tab you had us change the easy interval to 191%, however now there is a new option called hard interval that must have been added after you made this video. The default hard value is 120%. What would you suggest we put this at?
Just took Japanese N1 in 6 week summer course meant to be done in 16 weeks and feel like i never got proper footing. Not my professor's fault but my own. Feel like this will help me get more sturdy in preparation for N2
Your video was very detailed..thank you.. What are the steps to sync this to mobile so that I get notifications of cards and see the cards on my phone every day
Thank you for the time and effort you put into this video. The video has saved me from pulling out a lot of hair. I am curious to know if you will be making a video about how to make your own cards with written kana and kanji. I been unsuccessful making cards with just hiragana and katakana writing. I haven't attempted kanji considering the nightmare I am having with basic kana. Anyways, I have subscribed and turned notifications on in case you do!
Glad you found it useful! I’m unsure if I understand your question, do you mean figuring out how to type in kana and kanji on your computer in order to make your own cards?
@@AliviasNook My apologies. Yes, I a referring to typing kana and kanji on my computer to make my own cards. I have read several articles that state an add-on must be downloaded before Anki will have the option to write in kana and kanji. I have downloaded several of them, and I cannot get them to work. I followed the author's instructions, at least the best I could consider their less-than-clear writing. My hope is with your excellent communication and clarity skills I will finally be able to write kana and kanji.
@@sullyd.225 Ah I see. I don't believe I downloaded any add-on to type kana on Anki, instead, I added a Japanese keyboard to my computer through the system settings. I'll double-check to make sure I didn't download some add-on in order to make it work and in the future make a video showing the process!
attempting this on mobile and the only thing I couldn’t change was the new interval. it was set at “1,00” and I couldn’t change it to anything else I tried lol plus the settings on mobile are say “1,31” instead of “131%” HAHAHA thank you for your help ❤️🔥 you made anki less frightening and dreadful
Hey, anyone else here on 2023? I've tried to use that deck (the one she mentioned in the video description) but it seems that is not available anymore. I'm also trying the android app but once I'm on the japanese public covers there are alot of decks and I couldn't find the one she mentioned (JLPT Tango N5 MIA Omega Deck). I would really appreciate if someone can give me a hand with that 💪
thanks for the vid! this makes me excited to start learning. I'm new in Japanese. My first textbook in Genki just came in. Any recommendations of other anki sources for fresh new learners? the cards in this video look really intimidating when I dont have the best grasp of hiragana yet
Hello ! It's a very good video, I think it's a quick introduction for those who don't know how to use the app. By the way, I noticed the kanji wallpaper on your PC screen. Do you have a link of this wallpaper so I can download it, or even the name of it ?
Thank you! I actually don’t make my own cards (I find it makes me less motivated to read), but I think it’s definitely a great strategy if you are up for it! I’d say pick how many cards you want to make per day, and once you reach it stop making cards and continue your reading. If you make a card for every single word you’ll never have time to review them!
me left ear really enjoyed this video

hahaha
I was looking for this comment lmao
I downloaded Anki years ago but I've always felt so overwhelmed by it... your video is making me feel like I can sort of wrap my head around it for the first time, than you!
Glad it helped! I feel like Anki has a big barrier to entry. The concept is fairly straightforward but the app design and user guide are so confusing!
Same here! I’ve had it installed on my computer and iPhones for years, but could just never really figure out how are you’re supposed to use it. I finally decided to turn to Google for help, and this video was the first thing that popped up.

It’s been two years since and I’m new (Hi!)
The deck is now called “JLPT Tango N5 MIA”
I think it's changed now, do you know what's it called now?
I can't find either. Can you confirm its current name?
@@jeffnewby9949as of april 1, 2024 it is still called what katanatamar4188 said
TY
Yes
I find a lot of videos out there that tell you the resources they used to learn japanese but they never do detailed walkthroughs of the materials and I think thats where your videos are very informative, thank you!!!
the deck linked in this video was removed, but if you search "JLPT Tango N5 Deck - Migaku Note Types" you should find an identical one
thank you!!
You are a capeless superhero
I already know how to use Anki, but I watched just to support your channel! Good luck!
Thanks so much, I really appreciate it! 💕💕
8:00 the irony of having the hello tag on さよなら 🤣 thanks for this vid it’s rly helped me navigate anki!! was so confused before :)
Thank you for this. I'm also using Matt vs. Japan's learning method for Japanese and while I acknowledge the guy knows his stuff, he kinda skips some steps in basic explanation sometimes. This video was a lifesaver, Anki is not a user friendly program lol.
Glad it helped! Matt’s videos first introduced me to Anki as well and I also found I had to look elsewhere to get everything up and running, so hopefully this video solves that problem!
I don't kno how she figured all this out but I'm grateful, gleeful and giddy that she did... and then shared :)
I really like the way you talk, didn't bore me one bit. Good job and thank you for this.
I’m glad to hear that! 20 minutes of tutorial isn’t the most exciting material😅
I just started using Anki with the minna no nihongo deck to learn the vocabulary more efficiently,but this video helped me better understand how to use it. Thanks!
Glad it helped!
Thank you so much for this guide. I was intimidated by setting up anki (probably because I didn't read the website). Now I can start tackling reading kanji!
Yeah the website is definitely overwhelming to read through 😅 Glad I could help!
After all these years, I've still never used Anki. Definitely going to dive deep into it as I start learning new languages this year. Cheers
Glad I could teach you something new! What languages are you learning?
@@AliviasNook My goal for this year is Korean! Love your teaching style by the way, very natural
What a great language! I’d love to hear how it goes. And thanks!
well Anki was just the most confusing, unfriendly program I had ever seen, but after this video it seems much better than I originally anticipated. thank you so much!!
thank you!! out of all the videos i've watched about learning japanese with anki, this one helped me the most. i'm really excited to learn!
the explanation of the difference between 'good' and 'easy' was really helpful! I never understood what the difference would be in the algorithm!
Yeah they are very different in terms of the algorithm, but you'd hardly know by the way they are labeled! You can tweak the settings so that the difference isn't as prominent, but I found it was simpler to save the 'easy' button for words that I already knew very well
This is the best Anki video I have ever seen. It was extremely helpful and I learned a lot. Thanks very much!
Happy to be of help!
Thank you for making this video tutorial. I was able to get everything set up and go through my first lesson for the day! Thanks!
This has been the most useful and easy to follow Anki tutorial for me, so thank you!! I was really putting off using Anki but you've made it look so simple :)
Glad it helped!! I didn’t start using it until I was months in and put it off for the exact same reason
Nice video!! I just started using Anki for learning Japanese, which I began studying in late January of this year. Glad I found your channel :)) 🇧🇷
What a great way to start the new year! I hope my videos help you navigate your studies 😊
Your video really helped me wrap my head around the UI of Genki. I hope to see more videos like this in the future, thanks.
Glad I could help!
Thank you so much! Your video was really helpful for me. The way you explained how to do it since the beggining was perfect. Sorry for bad english. Thx
Glad it helped!
Very helpful! But fyi, that shared deck no longer exists. Can you please recommend another for a beginner?
My left ear really liked this video.
Great explanation for it. I been using Anki for 2 years now and thank you for covering aspects of Anki I never knew before.
Glad you could learn something new!
YOU'RE A LIFE SAVIOR FOR BEGINNERS! THANK YOU!
I really appreciate this video. I was overwhelmed by the number of settings in Anki and the number of decks to choose from. Thanks!
Glad you found it useful! When I started I was overwhelmed too and tried out a few decks, but this one checked all the boxes for me
I'm setting up my anki while watching your video. Thanks for the explanation, really helpful and very easy to follow :)
My left ear enjoyed this video
... x)
Much appreciated 😂
Thank you so much. The best video I have found on TH-cam❤
thanks so much for creating this video!! I really would've been incredibly lost otherwise! Now I can get started without being overwhelmed by the technical stuff!
Great video, she is really good at explaining everything, actually great how she explains everything because something the simple things need to be explained to some people.
This was SO so helpful
Thank you for breaking down Anki!
Np! I’ll be doing more vids in the future going in to more depth for those who are interested 😁
Really helpful - thank you! I just started using Anki and your video really helped me figure it out!
I am trying out Anki now for attempting the JLPT N1 in December.

Thank you, I appreciate that! ❤️
Love the clean style of your videos and clear explanations. Great channel!!

ive had anki for a very short amount of time and this helped me understand the app enouph to not be scared of it ^_^ ありがとう！
Haha I was scared too when I first started using it !
Thank you sooooo much for this Tutorial !!!!😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭❤❤❤❤ Im so excited to get started!!!!!
My headphones' left is not working so I could only listen music in the background LUL
Super helpful video, thanks for sharing!
loving your videos ^^ going through them all
Very good :) my left ear took in all the info tho haha
This is super helpful, I've always been put of Anki by not knowing what to do, or picking poor decks :/ Hopefully it will go better this time
Anki can be super intimidating. I hope this helps!
Very precise explanation about Anki! Thank you!
Glad it helped!
also for anyone complaining about the deck being gone just search up its name and one or two tried and true copies will come up
Great video, helped out alot.
Merci beaucoup pour ton tutoriel! Have a blessed day!
This is an excellent introduction and breakdown, thanks so much! :)
Thank you for this video. I have been struggling to memorize vocabulary and this really helps!!
Just took Japanese N1 in 6 week summer course meant to be done in 16 weeks and feel like i never got proper footing. Not my professor's fault but my own. Feel like this will help me get more sturdy in preparation for N2
That’s great! Focused vocab study is definitely useful for standardized tests like the JLPT and will make sure you have all your bases covered
Wow! Thank you so much. That was soooo clear 🙏
Thank you for your recommendations! I'm casually learning Korean and wasn't sure how to best optimize learning new vocab with Anki!
Happy to help! I'm sure there are lots of similar pre-made Anki decks with basic Korean vocabulary for you to use 😊
Warm thanks to you for these instructions, and tips for use. Now this program makes some sense. ;-)
Thanks alot.. for your clear explanation ❤️
Seems like the deck is down, is there a way for you to pm me the anki deck (zip) or something TT)
Search for the one named "JLPT Tango N5 Deck - Migaku Note Types", it's identical and still up now
the JLPT Tango N5 omega is now unavailable, do you know how can i get that ??? some other place or some way you can share it will be very helpfull
Does anyone know the name of this deck rn?
Your video was very detailed..thank you..

Glad you enjoyed it!
The UI has since changed, can you please do an updated video for the new UI? Because it has worded some settings a bit differently and I'm confused
thank you so much for this video!
Thanks finally i know how to use this app because of you. This app is just too complex for me

Thank you for making the video, but it is probably obsolete now that Anki's UI has changed substantially. I'll need to look for a more up-to-date one.
my anki version is different, that part when you explained the configuration is different from what i have
my left ear likes this video :)
This was amazingggg
Thanks for the tutorial
Thanks for watching :)
Best Anki video I've seen. Thanks! So you did this deck alongside going through Anki and Wani Kani?

The deck that you're linking to appears to be gone :(
Thanks for this video!
You’re very welcome!
Hello ! It's a very good video, I think it's a quick introduction for those who don't know how to use the app. By the way, I noticed the kanji wallpaper on your PC screen. Do you have a link of this wallpaper so I can download it, or even the name of it ?
A very usefull video Alivia. Do you also make your own cards for words you encounter? If so, how do you go about doing it? What is your strategy?
Thank you! I actually don’t make my own cards (I find it makes me less motivated to read), but I think it’s definitely a great strategy if you are up for it! I’d say pick how many cards you want to make per day, and once you reach it stop making cards and continue your reading. If you make a card for every single word you’ll never have time to review them!
