Are you using kanji.koohii.com? If so, getting the shared "Super Heisig" deck from
Anki's shared decks may be a way to use the superior Anki learning algorithm while still being able to access the stories from that site. To reschedule vocabulary in Anki when there are too many reviews: 1. click the magnifying glass to access the card browser 2. sort by due date 3. select all that you want to reschedule (using shift) 4. from the menu, select "Actions > Reschedule" 5. "Reschedule with initial interval in range". If you put min 1,00 and max 4,00 this means that the earliest card will be shown tomorrow and the latest at the end of the third day from now. If you put min 0,00 and max 31,00 then the earliest card will be shown today and the latest a month from now. In case I was unclear earlier, I should specify that this doesn't mean you will master the cards in a month, just that some won't re-appear for a month, giving you time to catch up. I recommend rescheduling whenever the number of reviews has gotten so high that you find it hard to motivate yourself to do your Anki. Anki should always be quick and fun. However, keep in mind that rescheduling also hurts the algorithm, if you should have reviewed a word yesterday and instead you'll see it a week from now. Rescheduling is just better than not doing your Anki or treating these words as new because the algorithm can take into account how long you haven't seen the card. If it's a card that would normally appear again in 5 days, and instead you answer it correctly after 15, then Anki will immediately give you a greater interval next time. And that allows you to catch up more easily. 5 persons have voted this message useful | ||||||

Hm.. Maybe I should also pay attention to this comment regarding my course selection for next year. We're signing up for them at school right now, and currently I have six AP (Advanced Placement = college level) classes written down on the sign-up sheet, and my only non-advanced class will be physics, which I'm terrible at anyways. I think this is what one would call a suicidal schedule, although I know other people who are taking the same number of AP classes, but even harder ones. But if it were possible I would take eight classes so that I wouldn't have to decide between AP Psychology and AP Art History...
Yes, I am. The problem with switching over to Anki at this point is not that I can't add stories to my Anki deck (since you can do that in the deck you recommended), but that I've already gone through all ~2000 characters and saved the stories for them on kanji.koohii and I don't particularly want to have to copy them all into Anki individually. If there is a way to import all the mnemonics automatically into Anki from one's kanji.koohii account, that would be an entirely different matter. Thanks for the instructions on rescheduling, I'll see if that works. :) 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

In principle you can do a lot as long as you have fun, but signing up for a killing schedule may catch up with you one day. You may have to choose between an ambitious schedule at work and some of your languages. I used to think I was superwoman, speaking 5 languages at the age of 15, doing the three years of high school in 1 year, the youngest in Norway (still) to pass the French exam at the University of Oslo while at the same time studying Arabic, and then suddenly at 20 I hit the wall. I was extremely lucky in that I was back on my feet again in a few weeks, but I know of people who are down for years. I love your enthousiasm and am utterly amazed at you capabilities of learning languages, which far surpass mine, but I am afraid that you are sometimes too hard on yourself. Remember, this language thing is supposed to be fun, not a chore. :-) 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

That's going to be good news for people who might be tempted to feel bad about not keeping up with you. Okay guys, you can stop stressing now, wasn't going to happen anyway. 2 persons have voted this message useful | ||||||

Please note my use of verb time here: "Used to think" - as in "found out I was not". It bruised my ego pretty badly at the time, but it gave me a better life. Now I am just plodding along, kicking myself for being so thick when it comes to learning Russian. I know that most people need to learn from their own mistakes, but feel free to learn from mine :-) Having an immense drive to acheive something, like so many here have, and Ellasevia in particular, is a wonderful thing, as long as you only do is as long as it is fun.
