Nihongo dump incoming!
僕は今日、電気回路説を三時間勉強した。
「電気回路説」は英語で「Circuit Theory」
大変ですよ!
14日に一つ目の期末試験がある。
あの試験は数学試験です。
ナーバスですなぁぁぁぁ
楽しみにしません。
日本語であるゲームをお勧めを披露したいか ?
僕はゼルダの伝説のようなゲームが 一番好きですが、
マス・エフェクトやスカイリムも・・・
日曜日イギリスに帰ります。
イギリスに気移りが家より少ないです。

I'm curious about your anki cards.. How do you test side 1 and do
you test the same vocab again differently with a different deck?

Here are a couple of online German dictionaries I like because they include one or more of the following: context (example sentences), frequency and collocations (words that normally occur together with the word you are looking up):
Duden Online (http://www.duden.de/)
Digitales Wörterbuch der Deutschen Sprache (http://www.dwds.de/)
For an actual hard copy monolingual dictionary, I believe Duden is for German is what Oxford is for English. (Any native speakers to confirm this?) Langenscheidt has some pretty good bilingual dictionaries.

Example from yesterday:
---
(Front)
ゴロン族は相撲で強さを競い合う
---
(Back)
競い合う: 互いに負けまいと競争し合う。
<Sentence with furigana>
---
They are just simple sentence cards. Most have Japanese definitions though.
Most words stick that way. Also, testing production with Anki si a little bit difficult
as such cards might be difficult to assess.
And thanks for linking me to http://www.duden.de/, BAnna!
DWDS was the one that frustrated the heck out of me the last time I looked for a
monolingual German dictionary; the definitions are short and not really helpful to me
and the example sentences were either really short or really, really long.
And a German flashcard:
---
(Front)
Das ist dein Zielort, die Insel Drakonia!
---
(Back)
Zielort (m)
Bestimmungsort einer Fahrt, Reise oder Wanderung
---
Both these sentences are shamelessly ripped from Zelda games.
EDIT:
And I wrote a new lang-8 entry.

Are you still looking at dictionaries? Are you already using PONS? I came across it just now and it looks like a spelling dictionary but it has some more example sentences. I wanted to test it with your word "Zielort" except I wrote "Zilort" to see what it would do. It gave the correct spelling. I think I'll bookmark for myself, it looks like a useful tool!

Achtung! I was said some Langenscheidt dictionaries are pretty bad. Some of them lack even of the plural forms. But don't worry. Langenscheidt has released some very good Wörterbücher lately. Actually I own a physical one and I feel comfortable with it.

Yes, I've also heard some of the Langenscheidt ones are good and some are bad. I was not very clear in my post: sorry about that.
Do you know if it is language specific or the type of dictionary? I looked at one (did not buy) and I believe it was aimed at German learners of English: none of the nouns had the Gender listed, and I think it only had irregular verb conjugations for the English verbs. For someone learning the language the lack of those would be fatal, but probably not be necessary at all for a native speaker of German.

Today was the first time I've done Anki reviews on the airport coach. :p Was kind of
fearing that I would have had to do them when I arrive in Bath somewhere past midnight.
:p
My flight's leaving in an hour or so (1530), and then 1705 from Oslo to Heathrow...
