Old heads will remember Neri’s sentence lists. Those are anki decks that simply have a sentence in your target language on the front, and the english translation of that sentence on the back. Despite its simplicity, studying sentences this way is very effective because it allows you to build a really intuitive understanding of the language.

What I’ve made is a more modern version of the same idea. The biggest difference is that my sentences come from movies. This means I can have every card include an embedded video of the scene the sentence comes from! I think it’s really fun. There’s also a placement test so the generated deck can start with sentences closer to your level.

Check it out here: https://yap.town/anki

Btw, I want to be 100% clear that the generator is free, doesn’t need an account, and you get a normal .apkg that you can import to anki. It just looks kind of fancy because it’s attached to a broader language-learning tool I’m working on, but you don’t have to use that at all to use this. AI assistance was used in the creation of this project.

I think this is the most complicated question for learning languages using Anki.
From what I've read through a few posts:

NL->TL (production)
Great for producing the word. Great for producing (writing, speaking). Biggest con I've read about? It makes your brain translate, which is what you don't want because you want to immerse yourself in your target language.

TL->NL (recognition)
Great for recognizing, I guess that's self explanatory. Targets mostly reading.
Biggest con I've read about? Not as useful as NL->TL because if you can produce it you can read it?

My way of thinking is, why not both? If you only use production, can you truly say you can read a wall of text in TL as well? Yeah you can argue "oh I can just spend more time reading instead for recognition" but won't it be a hard struggle to actually read then. What if you get really busy and stop reading or consuming text of your TL. What if you went to focus on learning another language. If you don't have Anki to help reinforce your recognition skills continuously, it'll disappear.
The problem with just recognition cards is of course production. If you were in an isolated context without the word, actually producing it would be hard because you never actually had practice with it. All you did is ever learn with the word said or read in front of you.

So I honestly think if you just want to read, recognition is good enough, but if you want to be truly fluent while using Anki to continuously reinforce (with consuming TL media ofc), then I believe both is very beneficial.
Now this is what I currently believe in but if anyone have counter arguments i do would like to hear them on what they are though.

Is it really high yield - for ini-cet 2027 , or is it because i have a tendency considering every question i see high yield .
Im an intern now :) .

Facts are easy to turn into cards. The harder part is the step before the answer, like what you would ask or check first.

Have you found a card format that works for that?

A couple days ago I made an anki add-on that made it easier to guess the meaning and reading of Japanese words in any anki deck.

Someone requested the same for Chinese so I made a sequel to the add-on called GuessWithAnki. It brings the same learning benefits as the original add-on with support for Japanese, Chinese, English and medical decks.

To learn more about how the add-on works and how I made it, you can watch the video in the post or read the r/hacktoberfest article here.

Any feedback on the process and analysis is appreciated. I am curious to know if this is a pattern other anki users have noticed and how helpful they found it for language learning.

I use Anki primarily for my USMLE exams. I passed Step 1 in February and suspended all my cards afterward (I know I should have kept up with the reviews, but I got lazy) I restarted my prep in late May.

Whenever I started a new system, I would reset all my pathophysiology and clinical presentation cards for that section to “new,” and also make new cards for management. I never stopped to check whether this was the right approach.

Today it occurred to me that if the algorithm learns from my retention, then resetting cards to new might be distorting it. Wouldn’t the algorithm start to think I forget cards more often than I really do?

So my question is: when I unsuspend cards, should I reset them to new, or just leave them as they are and let the algorithm handle the spacing, even if I’ve forgotten most of them?

Hey! I’m looking to contribute for the first time to an open source project and would love to do so on an anki add-on. Do you have any add-on to recommend or do you need help with your add-on?

So I downloaded this such that I could make it so the lecture notes pop when I flip the card automatically, rather than having to click that little bar.

However, it’s now prompting me to update the AnKing Notetypes.

Do I select to update it? When I do, it makes a scary pop up saying “Do you really want to update the note types?”

Thanks in advance

Hey everyone!

Here's an add-on for anyone who likes digging into their stats. It has pretty much every stat you could want, in its own window, and anything in it can be pinned under your deck list. I find it more interactive and easier to navigate than the built-in stats.
If you try it, feel free to explore the settings, almost everything can be customized.

It's free and open source.
You can get it on AnkiWeb, and the code is on GitHub.

Hope it's useful to some of you, and let me know if you have questions or find a bug!

Anyone guys have a decks with Kendrick Lamars song were words eng-rus??
or any variants of learning english with music

Hi everyone,

I have been using AnkiDroid to learn Japanese for a year. What a great app it is!
But one thing I really want to have is put the deck on my home screen so I can see the card every time I pick up the phone. Unfortunately AnkiDroid doesn't have that feature (its widget is just to display stats).

So I created an Android app which can add a widget to display the Anki deck right on your home screen. You can see the card, listen to the audio and review the card just like in AnkiDroid but right on your home screen.

Here is a video to demo how it works and here are few screenshots.
https://youtube.com/shorts/3ePQhD4gDbA?feature=share

I tried to submit through Google app store but it's under review and might need testing. So if you are interested, drop me a message and let me see how can I get you on to the tester list.

[Edit]: you need to have AnkiDroid installed on the phone as Meiki app will call AnkiDroid's public API to get the decks/cards and display them.

I have already got 12+ testers for the closed testing required by Play Store. It has to wait at least 14 days before going for public testing.
At the same time, you are more than welcomed to join the test. Just message me your email address:

I’m trying to change the button setting for the new version of onigri. The new update changed my theme colors and now my button background is stuck as pink. Anyone know how to fix?

Interleaving is about mixing up subjects / examples of the subject during your practice. May I know how do you mix the subjects in real life?

A tribute to Claude ♡

Studying law in Germany xoxo, i think it's cute.

PS: Please don't mind the backlog ❤️‍🩹 it has gotten better

The only thing that doesn't really fit is the blue bar from AnkiLock

The Columns are inspired by AnkiMobile

Just curious. In the process of deciding what to pick for my own setup.

I am on a new windows 11 install, I dont have any addons. I have the latest release on anki and im not sure why this is happening. Previously I was on linux and there was no issue, so I dont think its my deck. When i press the button to play the audio, it is silent for up to 5 seconds. Other times the start of the audio repeats many times like a stutter.

I am using wired headphones. I tried "Zzz (legacy) No Sound Fix (libmpv)" addon. It did seem to fix the delay issue, after about 4 cards my audio wouldn't completely stop playing until I restarted anki.
Please help!

edit: solved with this addon

(only the vlc version worked)

I used Claude to scrape the millionaire fansite for all questions from the UK TV show, books and games, and put this deck together.

33777 cards, ordered by source/date/prize amount. You can sort by "Prize" and delete the 100 and 200 pound easy questions, but I left them in for the sake of completion. Skipped 65 DVD game questions that had video clips.

Download here: Millionaire UK.apkg.

EDIT: I just realised that some fastest finger first questions, that require putting the options in order, don't show the answer.

To fix put {{^HasCorrect}}<div class="answer">{{#PrizeClass}}<span class="label">{{Label}}</span>{{/PrizeClass}}{{Answer}}</div>{{/HasCorrect}} on the back so the back template looks like this:

<div class="wrap">  
      <div class="badge {{PrizeClass}}">{{Prize}}</div>  
      <div class="q hex"><div class="in">{{Question}}</div></div>  
      <div class="opts {{HasCorrect}}">  
    {{#A}}<div class="opt hex {{CorrectA}}"><div class="in"><span class="ltr">A:</span> {{A}}</div></div>{{/A}}  
    {{#B}}<div class="opt hex {{CorrectB}}"><div class="in"><span class="ltr">B:</span> {{B}}</div></div>{{/B}}  
    {{#C}}<div class="opt hex {{CorrectC}}"><div class="in"><span class="ltr">C:</span> {{C}}</div></div>{{/C}}  
    {{#D}}<div class="opt hex {{CorrectD}}"><div class="in"><span class="ltr">D:</span> {{D}}</div></div>{{/D}}  
      </div>  
      {{\^HasCorrect}}<div class="answer">{{#PrizeClass}}<span class="label">{{Label}}</span>{{/PrizeClass}}{{Answer}}</div>{{/HasCorrect}}  
      <div class="meta">{{Contestant}} \&middot; {{Date}}</div>  
    </div>  

Should look like this now.

I don't use ankiweb to sync, I use my own server, so uploading to ankiweb shared decks is a bit of a pain in the arse for me, if someone wants to share the deck on ankiweb go ahead.

sorry for bad spellings

I have just migrated from brainscape platform.

to remember my cards i used 1 side with the word and another with a memorry sentences to remember the word.

The problem with it was that I could not just tap the reverse card option to get the languages reverse because I would get the answers instead of the questions. That was why I came up with the idea of just making to cards, the answer always stayes the same and contains both languages, but the question word flip based on if its card num 1 or 2.

I am pretty sure it would be a feture with a mod or something on anki without having to make 2 versions of the same cadd basiclly.

Could you guys please help me?

- Every review you do in Anki earns play money: $100 for an average card ($60 to $200 depending on how hard the card is), $5,000 for hitting 50 reviews in a day, $3,000 for finishing everything due, plus a streak bonus.

- You invest that money on ankitrade.org at real market prices: stocks, ETFs, crypto, fractional shares, limit orders, and calls and puts if you want to learn how options work.

- A small box under your deck list shows your portfolio live. You can shrink it to one line or hide it.

- Reviews you've already done today count as soon as you sign in.

Is there a way to hide the number of due cards on the AnkiDroid home screen? The big numbers scare me.

Since my exam requires proper spelling, I answer by typing it out. I dont want any add-on that auto grades, since that wouldn't work as the answer is part of an image here.

But an embedded text box would be cool, especially If I can make it so my number keys still work for grading? Rn it takes a lot of time to click from the other tab, type, then click "good."
