Well I added 94 cards to my Spanish deck. It has very short simple English definitions. It's the right
choice I think. I blew through them in like 20 minutes. Japanese takes longer. Man. It's been a really long time since I tried to actively learn vocabulary that wasn't Japanese. I don't think I did it with Spanish mucheither... You have to go back like 4 years I think. I did learn a bit just reading and using a pop up dictionary once in a while and I remember being surprised that such little practice yielded obvious results. Japanese is a whole different animal. I think I need to read. Somehow I have to start reading. I'm not as interested in Harry Potter as I used to be so maybe that's not the best thing to read. I have a problem in that there's like no ebooks (or other books) available in a Japanese. I think I may give sherlock Holmes a try. I read that they're available to read and fun. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

You've probably seen these before, but in case you haven't: You can find loads of books here and parallel texts here, including lots of Sherlock Homes. This guy does fantastic readings of Sherlock Holmes books if you want to listen to them, but unfortunately the translations he uses don't seem to be the same as the versions I've found on those two other sites, so it's not really suited for listening-reading. I haven't tried all of them though, so there might be some that are the same. Edited by Brun Ugle on 07 January 2013 at 8:38am 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||

Well, the workflow of Anki is like this. You enter one note, usually one note per word or per sentence. The note contains all the information related to this word - the meaning, the writing, the pronunciation, examples, anything. Each piece of information is in its own field. Then you can automatically generate cards from this note. I say automatically because you would have defined previously what cards you would like to generate from this type of note. Each card has only two sides (yes, you are right about that) and each side can contain an arbitrary number of fields. For example, I generate two cards for each of my Korean notes - a forward card and a reverse card. I like Anki but if you need 3-sided cards then it's probably not for you.

What flashcard program do you use that allows for 3-sided cards?

As I recall anki has a linking function that is actually really similar to
3sided or more cards but not really the same. I use an app called flashcards Deluxe. It's in play store and the app store. The Android version is really new but seems pretty stable. It crashes occasionally nut I've no complaints. I find it very easy to use and for Spanish im just using my phone to add cards in bed while reading my Kindle. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Flashcards Deluxe allows for up to 5 sides btw.
I got the textbook for my Spanish class yesterday. It's ridiculous. or m going to look to where I can lodge complaints or at least feedback. 160 and we can't use a used copy because we need some online code to do homework that counts for 12% of the grade. Once you open the wrapping you cannot bring back the book no matter what. So I have to resist opening the thing until going to class or risk being screwed somehow. I guess just picturing myself with the wrong book or finding out that the prof came to his senses and isn't using the online component is good enough to keep me from opening it. I'd save a lot of money with a Kindle version of the text. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

What kind of cards do you use? Sentence cards or just words?

Just words right now. I tried making sentences for Japanese a while back but found it was a lot more effort just to make the cards and I seemed to like just words better. I'm thinking of switching that up for Japanese. For Spanish it's just words also. I don't think I'd change that for Spanish - more time on the flashcards either making or studying means less time reading and I think I benefit a lot from reading and it's more enjoyable.
Actually I do have sentence cards for Japanese. But it's for studying grammar, not vocab. 1 person has voted this message useful |
