Do you make bi-directional decks, or only recognition? Do you make all the cards yourself, or do you use pre-made decks? So 50 new cards per language, that could be 250 for 5 languages? That is a lot. Tungemål wrote:Jeff, you've got black belt in Anki! I remember you posted your statistics at the end of the year with some impressive numbers. That's my method of learning Japanese vocabulary but since learning Japanese is like learning two languages (its written and spoken form) I have to seek for other associations when it comes to remembering the written form of the word where I basically rely on Kanji and written words I already know. If you cannot create a connection you can try to connect it to some French word you already know say you know the word "cat" and you want to learn the word "dog" so you can connect the French word "cat" with the French word "dog" and imagine a dog chasing a cat, if you knew the word "chase" it would be even better. So I try to connect it in both ways as similar strings of sounds and imagining a connection like "knife-swallower". Or just natural sounds like au (auu! when you get hurt) - in Japanese it means "to meet" and to "have an accident".
I connect it in my head imagining a knife-swallower. the Japanese word kuchi (face) with the Spanish word cuchillo (mouth), they sound very similar. You can try to associate French words with Portuguese and English words you already know and which sound similar. The word pronunciation on the front and its definition on the back. If I was you I would focus on sounds recognition only.
