Simple word pairs. Shown the English word, give the Swedish word. Verbs in the
infinitive, all nouns have corresponding genders. Several years ago I experimented with different card formats in Anki for some adhoc German vocab work. I found that it wasn't necessary to do both English -> German and German -> English - for me, English -> German was more than sufficient. No example sentences. The purpose here is to internalize a large bank of common Swedish words in my brain in a short period of time, which requires a fast way to generate reliable word lists (using scripts run across a dictionary or vocabulary book). The simple, pure list of word pairs eliminates distraction, and is, in a way, almost beautiful in its simplicity.

So you are only going for English->Swedish (just as you only went for English->German)?
That's interesting. I suppose that many beginners concentrate on target language->base language, and forget about the other way around, which is often harder. I'd have thought you still needed to give some attention to TL->BL though, but if it works for you... (bear in mind I don't use Anki and don't really know how it works, but with physical flashcards it's less of an issue, as you can very simply use them in either direction). 1 person has voted this message useful | |

You can easily "flip" anki decks as well.

Correct, only English->Swedish.
In theory, it would make sense to learn the words in both directions. In practice, the link generated in my brain is close enough to bidirectional. The other direction is easier, and is thoroughly exercised later on with listening and reading, plus I spend my time learning new words instead. Not sure what the theory is behind it all, but the results speak for themselves. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

The reviews have gotten down to around an hour a day now, so tomorrow I'll be adding the
next 2000 words to the deck, and unleashing them over the next 10 days at 200 words/day. The last few days of reviewing without new cards has left my spirit wanting, though the short break did seem appropriate. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Yes, although I don't use Anki, I find I prefer to learn "new" words than go over "old"
ones! Worries me sometimes, but, that's just the way it is. 1 person has voted this message useful | |
