Hi, This is my first post on this forum,

I'm trying to work out the best way to memorise vocab and grammar patterns by making my own audio files. I'd like to be able to study while exercising or while on the train, so audio only would be best. I don't know what the best layout for the tracks would be though; should I record single words into individual files and play them looped for long periods of time? Or should I record them in longer lists? Or should I come up with sample sentences for each word/ grammar point and record those and play them over and over again? I think audio recordings of the vocab and grammar I want to learn would be most effective, but I'm just not sure how to arrange the information on the recordings to get the most benefit. Any ideas?

Try this http://people.pwf.cam.ac.uk/ssb22/gradint/

It lets you set up prompts and responses and will interlace them in such a way that you practise each at increasingly long intervals.

A bit of a blunt tool, but it does the job.

A method I enjoy is to rip pieces of audio from movies you like. Get a script of the movie and read through that part and study it until you understand all the vocab and all the grammar. Then put that audio strip into your playlist. I have a number of pieces like this, around one to two minutes each, for Cantonese. Listening through the playlist refreshes lots of vocab and grammar at once.
