Learning different words (more important ones, per se a good idea, of course) or changing the material from paper to screen (nothing to say against these space stuff things ...) does not solve the real problem. There will always be a point where you just want to memorize a word and don't know how to do it, because you have never trained it. Solving this problem makes you a better learner in the long run, while any try to escape the problem will only make you less aware that there is one. I would not want to insist on this if I did not think it is of great importance. Better invest a lot of time now to find out how to fight this inefficiency. Jumping from software to software, from method to method, just to find out that in the end the real task is always the same does not help.

I indeed HAVE tried more than one method of language learning, and was agreeing with a previous poster that a Spaced Repetition System (a "space stuff thing"?) helps me learn at about double the rate of just rote memorization with paper flashcards. The original poster had mentioned giving up on Anki, and I--and a previous poster--am encouraging him to try it again. Indeed, if motivation and success at one method are not forthcoming, "jumping" to another method might indeed help. Discovering SRSs (Supermemo, in my case) has changed my life.

Flashcards (in little boxes) have always been used as spaced repetition systems ... but the name was not so impressive in the old days. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||
