I do think the "listen/read" the whole course is a good way to get the book opened. Follow that with a "just do a lesson a day, whether that's 15 minutes or 50" helps get a footing in the course. If you become disheartened, reduce your study time for each lesson to maybe 5 or 15 minutes, but keep going. Any wave can of course be followed up by more waves, learning a bit more each day. And Spanish? If there isn't a real world use for it, I think it's best to maintain the current course. It's much easier to maintain or revive a language that's been taken to a fairly high level. For me, before that, I haven't accomplished what I first set out to do. But we all have our differences. Edited by luke on 01 June 2014 at 1:59pm 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||

You're right of course. I'm not going to study Spanish now.
I just found it curious that you, Peter and I, all students of French, were drawn towards Spanish at almost the same time. :) 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||

I just started using Anki again a few days ago. My first thought was just to start with the 5000 word Routledge Frequency Dictionary. The idea of starting near the beginning was just not to overlook or unknowingly misunderstand common word.
My plan wsa to add maybe 10 entries per day. I started around word 50 of the dictionary, so it is pretty easy. A few common words can be tricky though. Prepositions mostly. Also, many words have multiple meanings. So far, I've just stuck with the definition in the dictionary, which is short and simple. Here it is a few days later. I'm not in trouble yet, but according to my original estimate of adding maybe 10/20 (with backs) a day, I have well over 100 cards. If I keep this up, I can see getting in trouble. Not so much with the frequency dictionary, but with other vocabulary I want to add. I also started using a book called Reading French in the Arts and Sciences. The introduction to the book mentions making flashcards, so I put my Anki deck to work. The most notable thing in chapter 1 was the False Friends. I.E., words that look like cognates, but aren't. One of those for me in French was "important", which the book translates as "large". Wordreference gives other meanings, such as "influential", "important", etc. For me, the revelation was that a phrase like, "un magasin important" may mean "a large store", rather than "an important or influential" store. Anyway, I added false friends from Chapter 1 to a new Anki deck. I'm also thinking about adding words from Assimil courses. Mind you, these are courses I've been through before, so most of the vocabulary isn't new. None of it is new, but some of it may never have been fully grasped. You can see where I'm going with this. So far, I've only been doing 5-8 minutes a day. That's where I'd like to keep it. I'd also like to learn all the mysterious vocabulary in my courses. How do you keep from creating an Anki Monster?

He pensado que no puedo estudiar los dos o los tres lenguas al mismo momento. Es demasiado fácile confundarlos. No sé lo que voy a hacer. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I quite like the Routledge frequency dictionary idea. I've used it on and off for the
last two years, and I've gotten up to word 1900. I plan to get up to 2500 by the end of this year, and I'll probably keep going until I finish the book. But I wouldn't recommend making cards on Assimil as well; most of the words in Assimil will be in the Routledge deck anyway. EDIT: I meant to mention one of the shortcomings of the Routledge dictionary. It doesn't give alternate forms for adjectives, which I like to have on my cards. So I usually have the collins online dictionary open while I'm adding cards to anki, and check words out. It is also useful for getting alternate definitions of words, because sometimes the definition given in the Routledge dictionary had me scratching my head.
