this is honestly the best video ive watched explaining what spaced repetition is and what Anki is, and what techniques they use for studying and memorization! for me personally, i need things simplified, or i wont understand. I love how you broke everything down. thank you!! :D
Great video. Unlike many other TH-cam videos, I was looking for something like this that wasn't so daunting. Your voice tone and presentation skills were pleasant to watch and kept my attention. Thank you!
Your explanations are striaght to the point and clear. LOVE IT! You describe things much the way I would, describing how to do it and why. No complicated examples for the first time user. KISS = keep it short and simple (my version!)
I just learned about Anki today. I already have two decks made! Thank you for explaining because the app seems to be a little confusing. If I stick to it, I believe it will help improve my language learning. Thanks again!!!😀
Found this more helpful than the longer-form almost video essays made by others who dive too much into linguistics and theory. Thanks for making this :)
Thank you so much! I have heard the word, "Anki," but was not aware that it is exactly what I have been wanting to find, and evern better, it's free! I know I sound naive, but I'm an old timer who has studied 3 different languages in the past. ALL THE HARD WAY! I only found out about new concepts in language learnins a few years ago. I have used many flashcards but wished to find something like this. SO THANK YOU!!!
Thank you for the video! It was very useful. I know Anki and use it, but I didn't know all those features. Gracias por el video, fue muy útil para mí. He usado Anki por uno años, pero no sabía que tenía esas opciones para crear Flashcards.
Very good video. I had tried Anki before, but gave up for not knowing how it really worked. Your video showed me it's indeed a great app. Thank you so much !
I really like anki for teaching a Spanish. It's easier to make progress when I create flashcards based on the mistakes my students make during our lessons.
i studied all the french expressions i uploaded but now anki says the deck is finished...And it doesn't show me it at all any more, even though I have forgotten those expressions by now for sure...Why is this? What am I doing wrong?
Well done! I've just downloaded the app, and looking forward to upping my Korean level. Question: When adding tags, do you need to separate tags with commas, and is there a maximum number of tags that fit in the field?
Nice! Enjoy it. Hope it helps with your Korean. You can create separate tags just by writing a space, and Anki will create two separate tags. If you want a tag of multiple words for that one tag you can use an underscore, like this (example_tag). There is no explicit maximum number of tags!
@@BreakOutandSpeak Good to know. I've just cracked it (Anki) open. Shared decks a mixed bag, but I still appreciate that we have access to others' content. I think I need to create my own. It'll be a hurdle, for sure. Thanks for the quick reply. I've just dug in to a couple more of your videos. Best wishes!
Thanks for the useful video. I have a question re input: is it possible to use voice input to create and develop cards? Also, I am learning Spanish and I am interested to know if Anki translates into Spanish or it is all down to the user? Many thanks
Hello! You can use voice with cards to record audio on your card itself. Cards are user created so you can enter whatever you'd like. Or download a shared deck if you want from online is possible too 👌
@@BreakOutandSpeak Thanks for your useful reply. I've got started and download onto my Mac and arrived at the basic page. I started to create my first card between Spanish and English but then realised I need to be able to accents and such like to make the `Spanish correct, does it not translate automatically and if not how do you add such grammatical extras please?
@DavidHuggett-p9y hi there, the cards are customizable so you enter what you'd like, no auto translations though. The accents come from your computer, so it might work to hold down a letter to have other options with accents pop up
@@BreakOutandSpeak Thanks Teacher... I try to pass the entary of USMilitary and GED , that's why my current Studying English words 10000-25000 are Ok for my goals. I need some techniques how to learn faster fast. Thank u Teacher.
@ShanShan-bg7lq That's big of you! You can try learning in groups first (ex. The first 500 most popular words in English) to make it easier. Good luck and happy language learning!
So grateful for this video, it helped me to understand better how anki works. And I got a question : does anybody know whether it is possible to ad a sentence as an example of using certain word that needs to be memorised ? ) Would be obliged to answers )
I'm so glad to hear it was helpful! 😊 For sure, it's great to add a sentence of how to use the word. You can add a vocabulary card and then write an example sentence underneath the definition, or just have the example sentence be your question prompt as a way to remember the word too
Hi, I have some german cards which have german sentences, there are some words in these sentences i want to get translation in english, i added google translate and deep L add-on but when i right click selected text, i dont get any option to translate, also this dictionary add-on dont give accurate translation, is there a way i can get translation of selected text in anki
Hey there, I'm not too familiar with that add on feature but Anki (and web browsers) do have various possible add ons. Perhaps try the Anki forum for more guidance there and good luck!
I'm new at Anki. I'm trying to lears Spanish. I've created multiple decks, each containing more or less 20 cards. But I wonder if it wasn't better to just create one deck and gradually adding al the words to that one deck? Or how does Anki function best?
Hello! I personally like having 1 deck per language. Unless perhaps you have a billion cards and want to separate them by level or something. On the desktop when you browse it's easy to drag and drop cards around if you decide you want to move decks. Happy language learning!
I want to make a deck with Oxford's most common 3 tousand words. How can I add words to Anki? I know there are many shared decks in its website but they are not basic and I just want word-translation deck. So how should I go? Adding step by step or another way? Thank youuu
Hello! Some options for ya: - Use a shared deck and delete or ignore the parts you don't want (also sometimes different shared decks have different features) - Import from a text file like a CSV if it's easier - Add word manually as part of practicing them - Use a browser extension to allow you to create cards from webpages (although I haven't tried this last option yet) I'd likely import or use a shared deck, but it's your call! Happy language learning
Hi, Genevieve! I have a question regarding decks, cards and topics. Should i separate the decks for the languages i am learning like (Language 1 /Language 2/ Language 3) and create cards for each topic within these languages using tags to separate them or do like (Language 1 - topic n / Language 2 - topic n/ language 3 - topic n ) being one deck for each topic, for example "english - verb to be; english - asking for directions"?
After spending hours adding vocab to my original deck, not unable to find what I added. Guess can only make 30 cards per deck and must add new decks when want to add more vocab.
I have a question. I don't remember what I clicked, when I try to click on "show the answer," it doesn't show what I have written at the back, it just shows the one I have written in the front. What should I do about it? i wish i could put the screenshot here.
Hello, I'm not positive. Maybe edit a card (or create a new one) to double check you have the info entered the way you want it with the question on the top line and the answer on the bottom. When you click show answer it should reveal what you wrote on the bottom line
I downloaded the app in android, and I inported a deck for Chinese Language. I want to split the deck according to tags like Hsk1 to 6, how can I do that
Hey, I would likely search by tag and then just create new decks for each tag. From the desktop app is the easiest to search, select, and just drop cards into a new deck
Yeah! I have one out of me telling the story of how I learned Spanish but I also want to do a compilation video speaking a bit of all the languages I know
@@BreakOutandSpeak Thank you for the reply! I created my first deck yesterday and reviewed it a couple of times. Perhaps, it’s still too soon, I’ll wait and see. At the moment, it just gives me a percentage and a letter grade.
Ah I see what you mean. Anki's system is to only to show you the cards that are due at that time and not again until you need them. You could always find the cards using the browse or filter features. Or go for Quizlet if you prefer to always have the cards there
