Argh. I am actually returning the iPhone. It's a little sad but I'd been
using it all day and last night and then picked up this note 2 when I saw its led blinking and well I don't think I am ready to give up the screen real estate afterall. I'll just learn more about Android and how to exploit it. It takes more learning than ios that's for sure. Right now I'm typing this entry in an android word processor to see what that's like. Even I'd this site wasn't buggy with SwiftKey, with its notorious bad connection you can lose what you type anyway. And I'm still hoping that SwiftKey makes a japanese version. I know they would if in were to ditch android. I met up with another student from class today. Due to playing with the phone all day in hadn't done the homework for next week and she actually got through it although midday she hadn't. So I felt bad that we weren't able to review the whole thing. I'll get it done though and I'm sure we will. Still no progress on the speech. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Are you using Anki 2? If so, the reviews scheduling actually takes the delayed reviews
into account. Also, do you know if it is possible to have different card templates for different devices? (My font size for German, for instance, is way too large on my smart phone...) And I bet Apple will make a larger phone; I mean, they are pretty good at copying and then copyrighting. :p 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I'm pretty sure they will too. They're denying it right now but it would be stupid to yield the market for 5
inch phones to Samsung and android out of sheer stubbornness. I like their os better so I'll be looking for it. I'm using flashcards deluxe. It's in Google play and the app store and is cheap but not free. I do have Anki but I didn't like it very much. I mostly found it hard to configure. Never tried thus new 2.0 version though. The one I use does take into account late reviews.. That is if you get a card right after a long period of time due to being lazy then it says you know this card pretty well and increases the interval accordingly. I'm sure that's going to help some but also I didn't get everything right on the first try hehe. The fonts look pretty good for my app between my huge phone and my ipad. But on the iPhone with its little screen sometimes stuff would be pushed off the bottom. My app doesn't adjust for that. I don't know ow if Anki does or not.

Well so much for being caught up. There's 80 cards due atm. And i
just added 163 new ones from the hand outs for chapter 5 that's coming up. I'm thinking that I need to redo my grammar cards so that they can be mixed in with the vocabulary. I really don't have the discipline to stay on top of more than one srs deck unfortunately. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

This is the bind with SRS. You just can't keep adding too much stuff or it becomes unsustainable (unless you actually are the kind of person who loves spending two hours a day on your flashcard software).
Anyway, I think SRS is effective but it is not necessarily efficient. Some words you end up memorizing surprisingly quickly, some show up so often you can't help but learn them, and others take more effort to make stick. It's only these last ones that I think need to go in an SRS. If you're getting so much new vocab from class it's not SRSable in a week, why not try and memorize it in a more traditional way, put it to one side for a week, and then only SRS the stuff you still can't recall? 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||

I'm not getting that much new vocab I a week really. I mean I kind of am but I like to get a headstart on
stuff, especially vocab, before we start seeing it in class. Actually it will often show igself early anyway and obviously if it's in my long term memory already then the assignments are a little easier. It's just weird for me this time as opposed to last semester that we seem to be getting a lot more. The pace is different. That said I think your idea is a good one and makes sense but I'm hesitant to try it yet. I guess I don't trust myself to study stuff enough if I don't have a reminder to do so like an srs thing. If I were self studying it wouldn't matter much if I were doing this the way I did German for example... Just hit native material and whatever gets repeated is what will stick. But for a class I need to know what he wants me to know and srs seems the safest. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

As I come to each chapter of my textbook, the first thing I now do is add all the new vocabulary to Anki. I don't bother adding anything I'm 100% confident about, but anything else goes in. That leaves with maybe 50 new terms to learn at the start of the week. If I find that there are too many reviews at any point, I can always suspend the ones that seem (at the time) to be less important. They might come back out of suspension if they crop up during the lesson. Otherwise, they'll come back when I have reviews under control. I have sat there and covered 60m of Anki + memrise over the weekend a few times (as I was geting the new N5 memrise course under control) but generally 60m spread throughout the day covers vocab + kanji, and I expect that to come down over time. (Well, until I start the N3 vocabulary :-)) 2 persons have voted this message useful |
