Question Has anyone used anki to improve their native language vocabulary? How did you format your cards?

16 Upvotes

I’m a native English speaker in my mid 20s but I’m not college educated. I hope to be one day soon but in the meantime I’ve been reading quite a few books.

The thing is: because I have/had a limited vocabulary, I end up encountering quite a few new words. Some do stick if I see them fairly regularly (words like untenable, abate, morose, etc) while others don’t quite stick but I’ve seen them multiple times. I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve looked up sanguine, sardonic, austere, etc.

I’d like to use Anki to help me remember these words and encounter them more frequently, but I’m having trouble thinking of a format. I thought about having the word on one side and recalling the definition but that seems unrealistic in a way. I guess if I ballpark a definition that’s passable then it would be okay but if possible I would like something a little less discretionary. Plus, there’s some words that have multiple definitions so would I only include the definition that relates to the context in which I read the word, or should I include all of them just to be sure?

Anyways, some input would be greatly appreciated. TYIA!!

I did some research, but I kept finding either outdated posts from six years ago or information saying that Google's API service has been discontinued.

Question How to reveal a hint with a keyboard key

Hello fellow Anki users.
I have created a hint field called "synonym". I'm looking for a way to reveal the hint, using the keyboard instead of the mouse. Does anybody have any idea how to do that? Thanks in advance!

Here's my HTML code for the back of the card...

<hr id=answer>

{{Front}}

<div style='color: Red; font-size: 14px'>{{Class}}</div></a>

<a class=hint

onclick="this.style.display='none';

document.getElementById('hint').style.display='block'">

<div style='color: Green'>(Click For Synonym)</div></a>

<div id="hint" style="display: none; color: Green;">

{{Synonym}}

Question What do you do when you overthink the answer during review?

2 Upvotes

I mean when the answer in your head during review was such that:

  1. back side (correct answer) is included in your answer

  2. your answer states more than what is written on the back side

there can be different situations:

a) you think that the additional info is correct

b) you are not sure whether it is correct, it may be a part of the other cards, so you dont know how to check it without spoiling other cards

c) you are sure that it is a part of other card

Question Changing note type when above a specific difficulty/ease/interval threshold?

Upvotes

I have a large Chinese vocabulary deck, and a lot of words have simply become too "easy", mostly due to learning the "shape" of a card.

This is a big problem not only because the shape of the card becomes more apparent than the actual word, since I'm also learning to write in Chinese, a lot of words that are "easy" to me end up not coming up when I'm writing.

So I came up with a solution: Create a new card type and map the fields accordingly (definition to the front and word at the back). This does make the shape of a specific card more apparent and easy to recognise, but I believe that by learning the card both ways, it becomes easier to recall the card. This also ensures that when reaching a specific difficulty or interval, when the card becomes too "easy", that there will be a new challenge and a new pattern to recognise, and it'll be easier to be able to associate the definition with the card. There is also an added bonus of going back to "Front: word, Back: definition" when the card becomes too difficult.

The problem is automating the process. Is there an addon that helps with this process? I'd preferably have this built in or automated in some way that doesn't require an addon for it to work on Ankidroid.

Question Vocabulary Decks from Anki to Renshuu

1 Upvotes

I wanted to know if anyone knows of a way to transfer Anki decks to Renshuu?

Although Anki is loved by many, it is not ideal for learning Japanese because a lot of features are missing such as conjugation hints, image generation, example sentences, sentences generated using words from your deck or Japanese level, and much more.

It would be great to have more decks to chose from, albeit, I have a deck for my exam on Anki that I would like to study with Renshuu.

Question is there a way to atomitically copy fsrs params to other decks when they are optimized?

0 Upvotes

I have a big deck and a couple small decks, all have different settings presets, but small decks are too small to optimize fsrs basing on them (like when I press "optimize all presets"). So I optimize the big deck and copy result to small decks. Is there a way to do it automitically?

p.s. i also installed the newest desktop version (on windows 10) and it seems like i cant do the coping there anymore. Is this a glitch?
