The words that Anki leeches, I study more deeply, try to get some mnemonic clue, see the etymological root and connections etc.
In my opinion, the "worst" words are those that are often easy, but, for unknown reasons, "escape" from your mind at times. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||||||||

Ok, it does depend. Anger can let you reduce stress by expressing the frustration and letting it go. I hope that you do not suffer from "debilitating anxiety" as in the article quoted.
.. and also write those "lost" words down when you fail them to re-learn them. Edited by zenmonkey on 15 February 2012 at 2:24pm 1 person has voted this message useful | |||||||||

My advice: throw those 8 cards away and make 8 cards with new words. If you really need the missing words later then learn them at that point, but there is no reason to waste your time and get impatient with yourself. Actually 32 words out of 40 isn't bad at all.

If you're getting 80% right, you're doing fine. I've had days and Anki decks where I was getting 80% wrong. I gave up on those decks, of course.
For me, I can see a word a zillion times in Anki and still struggle with remembering it, if I'm depending on Anki alone. But if I also see that word somewhere else, suddenly it becomes easy. I regularly use other learning materials which feed me vocabulary, plus I read a lot. This gives me a great overlap. Usually I see the same words in a least two or three places, including Anki. It makes it much easier for me to remember them. 2 persons have voted this message useful |
