Hi everyone,
I am learning Japanese using Assimil Japanese with Ease.Is writing phrases of assimil to anki a good idea? Thanks. 3 persons have voted this message useful | |||

I doubt it would hurt. I am going through the Assimil French and inputting the sentences into Anki as well. I make sure to do it so it has French on the question side and then English on the answer side to keep it passive. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I do the same with German, but I do it after I've already finished a lesson, so that Anki
allows for future review. There was a thread a while ago in which the OP was completely burnt out and frustrated with Assimil, and after some questioning about his method it came out that he was inputting every single sentence into Anki in his native language and forcing himself to produce it in the target language. The posters in the thread urged him not to demand so much of himself and to just follow the instructions in the Assimil booklet. This is the reason I recommend only using Anki as a review tool. I also keep it passive during the passive wave, or at the most I'll use the cloze feature to isolate a certain vocab item for production. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Ouch, it's no wonder they got burn out, defeats the purpose of having passive and active waves. I only input the sentences into Anki after having completed a lesson too, I should have clarified. For Japanese it may be an idea to make a separate deck for the kanji used in the course but have it so you need to remember how to write them out. So on the question side for example: "word for 'go' with kanji? (いきます)" Answer: "行きます。" Edited by jazzboy.bebop on 03 March 2011 at 9:58am 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

if you are a beginner that can be too hard for you.
Just put there some vocab or maybe grammar. Although, if you have it in a book already... Just read it often, review et cetera. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I do the same with Assimil Italian - only the tricky sentences though, not everything, and as suggested by others, only passively.
Amazingly, after a few run-throughs on Anki, I start hearing those phrases everywhere - and it's instant understanding, not translation. After several years of language learning stagnation the Assimil-Anki combination is powering my studies, and my enthusiasm. ;-) 4 persons have voted this message useful | |||

The whole point of Anki is to make reviewing and remembering easier, not more difficult so I'm not sure what you mean. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I just recently started doing this.
2 things though: 1. I do it on the active phase, not the passive phase. 2. I only write down the sentences that interest me (useful grammar, structure, preposition etc) and not all of them (nor any vocabulary) because I'm almost certain that this would lead to burnout quickly. 2 persons have voted this message useful |
