	I decided to start using Anki because there are some situations when I can't be wearing headphones but I could be studying Spanish. I put in phrases and vocab from all of the Platiquemos units I've done, but it seems like a total waste of time because it's all so easy. I'm thinking that maybe I should just use Anki for specialized phrases with specialized vocab that I want to learn specifically for things in my life. How would you suggest using Anki as a supplement to something like Platiquemos? Edited by BobbyE on 02 January 2011 at 8:48am 1 person has voted this message useful

	The things I put in Anki are: - idiomatic phrases that I pick up from reading - groups of phrases that offer variety in an area that I find difficult to remember eg I have trouble remembering when to use "pensare di" and pensare a", so when I come across phrases with either of those usages, I enter them in Anki - mass phrase entries from my "Big Green Book of Italian Words" - I pick a verb and enter all the example phrases for that verb - I get lots of idiomatic usages this way. - anything else I come across in the dictionary, etc, that looks interesting or useful. - phrases that I can COPY + PASTE straight from the computer, often transcripts from podcasts, providing they have some level of complexity or novelty, usually including difficult tenses or irregular verbs - individual words that I have a really, really hard time with, usually prepositions and adverbs - I enter lots of phrases using them but also I set up the phrases only 1-way ie Anki gives me the target language, I translate into English. Individual words and short phrases that I get stuck on, I do as 2-way cards, so that I have to translate into the target language as well. I find that I don't necessarily remember a lot of the single-card vocabulary/phrases to produce, but I can certainly understand them when I read and even hear them. I have nearly 3000 cards in Anki after almost 12 months of use - I'm a bit behind schedule, as I'd planned on having 5000 by now, but one does what one can. ;-) 1 person has voted this message useful
