Thanks, it's certainly nothing remarkably difficult or requiring
a great stretch of intelligence to accomplish, simply a concrete goal and persistence. To clarify, 2000 new words learnt, the deck size is 3000. 200 new words a day plus reviews. Once all the new cards are done, I'll keep doing the reviews as they come up to maintain it all. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I believe that your hard work will definitely pay off. There's no reason why a person isn't physically capable of learning 200+ words a day, it's just the discipline it requires to do so is hard to come by. With your determination, I think Swedish will be a breeze for you! 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

For me the problem is not determination, the problem is that (in my case) while having the last several dozen or even several words they simply can't stick to my mind. And when I finally guess them, because there are so little of them that I can remember it for 10-15 seconds, I forget it after another 10-15 seconds ;)

Your determination is admirable. I am "mining" my own Japanese deck, and it has only
~1200 items; I only add 10-30 new cards a day. When you're done with those reviews, you could just add new cards based on words you encounter in native material. Perhaps even with Swedish definitions considering the fact that you have 3000 words under your belt... Good luck with the last 800. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

The "stickiness" of each new Swedish word seems to directly
correlate to the level of similarity with the same word in English or German, and/or the ability to conjure up some memorable image that I can recall later. I imagine one's creativity would get a greater workout as the languages diverged, however. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Thanks for your suggestion, I hadn't considered entries
using Swedish alone. Best of luck with your Japanese studies. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Thanks.
You might end up finding unknown words in the definitions but those words are usually related to the original word, or they might be "dictionary words". I've been doing this with Japanese, and I'm very lucky if I don't have to learn 10-15 more words to actually understand the definitions. The reason for doing that is the fact that some words can't really be translated properly into English. I noticed this when I looked at Lang-8 entries in my own language. An example would be the word "to add" which could be translated to several words in Norwegian. The one most similar to the English word, "å addere" is, as far as I know, only used in mathematics. (Please forgive my English language mistakes.) 1 person has voted this message useful |
