The problem with tags is that they are not deck specific and can thus produce overlaps. So much more care has to be taken to come up with a (possibly rather elaborate) system of tags for various functions. Also you end up with an annoying long list of tags in the browser directory which at least for now, cannot be put in a higher directory and collapsed (unless I just don't know how to do so).
I am trying to tediously go through and use tags to filter and move cards to sub-decks so that I can get rid of most tags except for the global type of "is:whatever" ones. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I have just one deck for all languages:) I like studying several within a session and I like changing the combinations easily.

What's the best for audioflashcards?
e.g. I've got a set of audiofiles from Forvo. What I want is to hear a word (no visual information at all), then enter the word (the word itself or its meaning)/choose the right word. Maybe, it would be a small set (or several sets) of similarly pronounced words (to train the ear), so it's more about a drill (I don't want any words to be removed from the actual list of words to be memorized after correct answering). Thank you. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Well, someone mentioned before that menrise has a ceiling regarding how long intervals can grow, so I wouldn't consider it as proper SRS, and that basically means that you should manually remove the words that you consider learned, given that the program doesn't automatically do that by putting them further and further away (years and even decades). So, I would say that this app is a short term learning tool. Now, regarding true SRS programs like Mnemosyne (the one I use), there's no such a thing as exponential growth, actually the tendency in the medium and long term is quite the opposite: a gentle decrease in the work load. The reason is simple: When cards pile up, you have enough trouble completing your review without having to worry about learning new words, so things level off for the next couple of days/weeks. These are the maths, unless of course you said to yourself "I'm gonna learn 3000 words this month and I won't settle for anything less, so I'm gonna spend as much time in front of the computer as this damn thing ask me to".

I've just started using Anki 2.0.
Do you think there's something better out there? 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I started my SRS way with Anki, than got excited about memrise Beta (which I think was by far the best, even though it had some flaws) and came back to Anki 2 as I got very dissappointed with Memrise 1.0.
So, "Something better" depends on what are you looking for. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I've been using memrise for some time now, both the beta and now 1.0. Although I've dabbled in plenty of courses there are only two that I'm actively reviewing right now: Japanese N5 and N4. I'm still learning the N4 one but the N5 one I already knew from the beta. Having gone through the planting/harvesting phase, it generally takes 5 mins/day to review; it's only throwing maybe 10 words out of 600+ at me each day. The N4 course is throwing maybe 50/day at me but some of those I don't know at all yet (I did rather push hard to get everything planted and harvested: in hindsight, perhaps too hard). I rarely spend more than 20m each day on memrise. Maybe the workload will be heavier once I try the N3 course (~1500 words) or the N2 one (I've not checked but probably ~6000). In Anki I have maybe 500 words plus maybe 50-100 grammar points and a few kanji cards. That takes me maybe 30 mins each day. Now I'm not entering new words every day: I pour in a chapter or two of my textbook each week and I may throw in a few extra that have turned up from other sources. So I've yet to experience drowning-by-SRS with either of these programs. Maybe I'm just not hardcore enough :-) 1 person has voted this message useful |
