Thanks!
Of course, the more you have vocabulary, the more work you need to do to maintain it, but fortunately it grows logarithmically and the easy vocabulary tends to represent a very small part of my daily review. It doesn't take me much time, and usually I'm happy to have these cards to compensate from the frustration of all those I've failed. Anyway, the ultimate goal, if reachable at all, is not to use Anki at all, but I'll probably need a few weeks/months to reach that goal. :) 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I hate to disappoint you, but to this day, I haven't made any decks for French or Spanish. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Now I understand why they're not in your "speaks" list yet! ;-)
Anyway, I've decided that I'll work on Norwegian, and cognates are numerous enough for me to get the attention of my audience. It's pretty basic but I'm happy with the work achieved today: -it reads Anki -retrieves news articles -score their difficulty (inherent difficulty & coupled with my vocabulary) -displays the selected articles in my browser and passing the mouse over words I don't know give their translation. Pretty basic, but somehow useful already for me, and surely I'll spend more time on it to make it interact with Anki. I also need to find a better Norwegian-English dictionary, the one I have contains 6000 words which is largely useless. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I think it's an interesting idea and I would gladly send you my Korean deck later today if you have any use for it. It has about 1240 cards, 2 cards per fact (forward and reverse). I'm adding new cards to the deck myself, just words, no sentences. I haven't been reading anything on the internet in Korean yet because I think my level is still too low but if your software can find some articles that use the vocabulary that I have already learned then that would be awesome.
Good luck! And let me know if you need my deck. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Hi Evita!
Thanks for your message, and sorry for the few days it took me to answer. I've been fairly busy with my sister visiting me and I working on improving the code and making it more robust. It's getting more reliable and I'm slowly getting rid of the bugs... processing web pages whose format is very far from the standard is sometimes quite tricky. Following your message, I've tried to find a few Korean online newspapers and have now a good thousand of articles to work on. I need to do a bit more cleaning in my code and then, obviously, working on supporting Korean, which I guess will be tricky, but I like the challenge. I'm sending you a pm for the rest. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Any basic Arabic decks out there? I saw Kitaab 1, but I think it's a bit beyond my capabilities right now...

Have you tried looking outside of Anki shared decks at all? Like Quizlet.com? I just took a look and there are a lot of decks available there, some duplicates, no doubt, as the decks aren't named consistently. There's an easy way you can export decks from Quizlet, then import them into Anki. R. == 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||

For judging the level of reading material, I'm not sure Anki decks are the best source
of data. I'd suggest first looking at this article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Readability It has a bunch of different approaches to do this, most seem to make use the following properties of a text: - average words per sentence - average characters per word - the type of words used, e.g. what % of words are in the top 1000 most used words in the language For getting word frequency lists in many languages a guy called Hermit Dave has done an great job compiling these for free from the opensubtitles corpus: http://invokeit.wordpress.com/frequency-word-lists/ (I've made use of them to prioritise words for the site I'm working on: http://readlang.com ) Maybe you've got a clever idea to make use of Anki decks but I'd definitely take look at some of those approaches in the wikipedia article first. 1 person has voted this message useful |
