Great job!
Can I ask you some things in more detail how you applied this? In your first post you
wrote :
Plan is 200 new words per day + scheduled reviews. Words will be reviewed as
per the schedule after the initial 15 days, along with getting into some native
materials (L-R if I can find suitable material for purchase).
So what did you do with the words the initial 15 days? And per the schedule is that the
SRS schedule?
Regards,
Fredrik

Hi Fredrick, thanks for stopping by.
All reviews are done to the SRS schedule, correct. As for learning the new words, I look at the English word,
look at the Swedish word, and try to link them up. German words that I know often help as well. Once I've
made the link, I hit Soon Again, I see the pair again a few minutes later, and if all went well, recall the
Swedish word.
To be honest, I try not to think about the process - I just do it, and it seems to work. I'm not really
interested in tinkering - I just want to learn Swedish.

Thank you so much for posting such a helpful tutorial, Rob! I purchased the T&P 3000 for Spanish and after some
wrangling on my Mac (I'd never even heard of macro programming before your tutorial) was able to create a well-
formatted Anki set.
My question for you is on the content of the T&P 5000/7000. I was disappointed by the vocabulary selection for the
3000. It included the word for auroch (an extinct type of cattle) and other impractical animals, but not for
government (one of the top 10 most frequently used nouns in written and spoken English as determined by a study
of the British National Corpus). How did you find the more extensive 5000 for word utility?
Thank you.
