Alexander Alemayhu well... I’m a minimalist. I have basically three resources to learn my current target languages (German and Spanish C1 - both): 1) a graded book 2) Quizlet 3) a WhatsApp group where I record what I studied to play during my dead times so.. quizlet don’t offer you many options, it’s just a simple Flashcards app. That’s just what I need to play a little bit per day when I’m waiting in a queue to pay something for exemple. I like its simplicity. But as I said, I know Ankie is great.
Seems like a big waste of time. Anki is for memorization, not a repository for everything you know about a language. Gender of a noun can be noted with the correct article. Pictures are another waste of time, since most language concepts have no visual representation.
I don't remember the full context of this but I probably recommended Alp to share his workflow. Regarding your comment on pictures. I think this depends on the practitioner and how they are using the pictures as aid. You don't need a 1-1 mapping between language concept to use pictures effectively. I encourage you to educate yourself on the topic and consider doing some experiments if you have not already. Happy learning.
@@AlexanderAlemayhu I also respectfully disagree. Harry Lorayne, the Master of Memory Recall and Retention, even in the context of learning a new language, emphatically espouses the use of picture images. However, he instructs that the image should be outlandish, humorous, bizarre, etc. For foreign vocabulary recall, his methodology is particularly useful. For example, in English, the word "stairs" in German translates to the word "treppe" which phonetically sounds very similar to the English word "trip-[er]." Hence, if I first imagine a man (e.g., Charlie Chaplin or Mo, from the "Three Stooges") "tripping" on a child's toy, and then falling down a flight of stairs, I will instantaneously recall the man and stairs, when I later hear the word "treppe" spoken in Deutsch. To further reinforce this imagery, I need only Goggle for a picture of a man falling down a set of stairs, and include it in my Anki Deutsch vocabulary deck. Granted, this takes time and thoughtful deliberation, but the result is that you now "own" the word. The following website may or may not interest you, but the polyglot author of 25 languages heartily endorses and praises Harry Lorayne's memory tutelage and techniques. Aloha! And to Harry Lorayne - "thanks (mahalo) for the memories."

Flashcards is a must! I do Quizlet though. I find it more straightforward. But Anki is amazing, I know it! 😉
Professor X What do you like best about Quizlet?
