I'm proud to be the only *#$%$#*$ who says: "Use Anki, it's awesome" and "Don't delete cards, that's dumb." That being said, if you really hate it, then screw it. There are other ways of learning, plenty that don't utilize SRS.
Now I totally get off on SRS. When I do a shitload of cards in a day, I enjoy that. I find it the most efficient way of committing massive amounts of vocabulary and grammar to memory. And I would imagine, if we weren't making allowances for enjoyment or lack thereof, SRS would probably be the tool to use. But there's more to learning a language than learning a language--one takes account of what's pleasurable and what's not. And it sounds like Anki is quite unpleasurable for you--so, like I said, screw it. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Thanks, for all of you. I delete my deck : ). I start new one, but I'm considering to screw it. I dust my kindle off and install English-polish dictionary on it. That's really weird to learn language without learning. I have some crazy thinking about learning language, that there must be some unpleasant part of it, to be efficient. But I work on paradigm shift to just enjoy reading books (with pop-up dictionary) and watching series and movies.
Have you ever try memorise words using mnemonics? I ask, especially on intermediate-advance level, because it's simple to associate short/simple one, but how use mnemonics with words like preposterous or sth like that. Is it worth time I have to devote for it? 1 person has voted this message useful |
