The only setting I’ve really modulated is the “New cards / day” setting for the deck, setting it higher when I want more, setting it lower when it feels like too much. With Anki, I just do my reviews each day, in the morning usually, until it says to stop. I use Takoboto word lists imported to Anki on my computer, and to be honest I pretty much just use Anki itself completely bare-bones out of the box.īy default Anki seems to go for daily pile of reviews, rather than Wanikani’s more intense approach where reviews have super specific times. The very first review will be shown in a number of minutes (so I was technically wrong to say that Anki only gives you new reviews every day), but usually you do the second review in the same session, and after the second successful review the minimum interval is one day (possibly you can still change this, but that’s the default). But yes, this is what the numbers refer to. Well, the algorithm how Anki determines interval lengths is a bit complex and also customisable to some extent. Is that what <1 m (again), <6 min (hard), <10 min (good) and 4 d (easy) mean? So if press anything other than easy during a review, I’ll see that card again during that same review? I don’t remember that happening. you don’t have to go change each individual card. I don’t know how Takoboto works, but in general, you can just adjust the styling for a particular card type, and then all the cards with that card type will use that styling, i.e. It’s probably not possible to do this through the app, so you’d probably have to do it on the desktop.

I don’t know how to style my deck through my phone, and I’m not even sure I can do that for the autogenerated list from Takoboto. If it’s overwhelming to have to decide, you can just make a habit to only ever use “good” and “again” and ignore the other options. I reserve “hard” for “I really had to think way too long about this”, or, “I kinda got this right but had a small error / forgot one additional meaning / etc.”, and I reserve “easy” for “yeah I kinda know this card by heart, I really don’t need to see it in a while”. That said, 95% of the time, I only use “good” and “again”. The difference, “obviously”, is the time until the next time you see the card, so let that influence your decision.
What’s the difference between “easy” and “good”? “Hard” and “again”? I’m also never sure what button to click. I just make it a habit to check Anki each day which works quite fine. I don’t get reminders about reviews or anything (it may be a settings thing), so I only do it whenever I remember, which lately is…well, never.Īnki only gives you new reviews and new lessons once per day. Personally, I don’t care much how the cards look, I’m there to review stuff not to look at pretty things.Ģ) Then there’s AnkiDroid itself.

I don’t mind the default Anki style, but if it’s too plain for you, you can style the cards any way you want (it’s just HTML + CSS), or download a deck with styling that suits you. 1)The cards that are automatically produced are small plain text, the word in kanji and hiragana on one side, meaning and automatic example sentence on the other.
