Just a quick poll to see how people use Anki or whatever SRS they use. Personally, I always drill L2 to L1 since I am more interested in attaining passive fluency than active. Plus, I find that after seeing the words enough in Anki and elsewhere, I tend to be able to recall them actively as well.

I'm certainly working on my passive vocabulary, but I like to be able to actively recall a particular word after seeing it in English as well. I have them in the same deck, ordered completely randomly, so I'm constantly exercising my vocabulary in both forms.

Lately I have been only doing L1->L2, but am now changing this. Originally I thought if I could remember the L2 word by seeing the L1 word, then the opposite would be easy. However, I have since notice that my speed at reading subtitles is quite slow. This, of course, means more work on my Anki deck to make both L1 and L2 entries unique.

ETA: That's just for my vocabulary list. I also have cards for aural comprehension and verb conjugation.

L2>L1. I work on active recall while writing and/or chatting with people.

I do not drill L1 -> L2 for it would probably lead me to "think in translation". With enough exposition passive vocabulary will find it's way into becoming active.

I like L1 to L2 (active recall).

I prefer other non-SRS methods for passive learning.

I use both, but I have more L2->L1 than the other way around. Basically, when I encounter a word I don't understand, I look it up and add it to my deck as L2->L1. When I want to say something and don't know how, I look it up and add it as L1->L2. Would that count as "Both, but I drill them separately?".

Only L2 to L1, since I only use complete sentences to learn. I would be to failure prone to actively produce a complete sentence in the foreign language.
