![]() I think my experience is likely related to language learning itself. It could be that I have some latent savant-like language learning abilities, though I doubt that. And eventually I was spending so much time deleting cards that I just gave up on SRS altogether. So I just started deleting cards if I knew them already. There will be no point in reviewing them. But the thing is, with a language, I'm not going to forget all those words in 5 years. While it worked great in the beginning, within a year, I was just constantly telling the algorithm that I didn't need to review cards for 3-5 years. I learned Hungarian (one of the more difficult languages to learn) by loading up a database of ~10k cards. I just know them and, for the most part, won't forget. Once I learn words, I don't need to review them in x months or years. I keep running into the same problem, even with difficult languages: my knowledge of the language quickly outpaces the rate at which I can study new cards, and my ability to retain vocabulary doesn't really seem to fade. I've used Anki to learn languages with SRS for years. It'll at least let you find actual issues with anki, rather than the surface-level misunderstandings of it you've got now. It's probably worth trying to create a deck within anki that does what you want before building your own system. > I think it would be awesome to pair SRS with high quality images and audio, which I find most helpful for language learning.Īnki cards can include images and audio, and while a little less well, they also support videos. The default is 0, which gives the behavior you've observed (reset it all the way back). I've found 0.5 to be a good value, but you can tweak it of course. The above setting is called out in the "Adjust your New Interval" section of the link you provided, so it looks like you may have just missed that you already found the solution. if "easy" would have been "1 year", it now becomes "6 months" if it's easy the next time. In anki "Deck Options -> Advanced -> New interval -> 0.50" will make it so marking it as "Again" will cut the SRS interval by 50%, so i.e. > If you mostly know a card, but miss it on one day that card's learning progress should not be totally reset Instead, you should use some modifier to increase the interval to a reasonable level. Duolingo is great for grammar and explanations, but I can't take the pronunciations and tediousness of it all. I've used Rosetta Stone and Duolingo in the past Rosetta Stone has great audio and images but lacks a powerful SRS (it also has a number of other flaws in my mind, but I'll save that for another time). I think it would be awesome to pair SRS with high quality images and audio, which I find most helpful for language learning. Instead, you should use some modifier to increase the interval to a reasonable level. That leads you to have too many cards to review on a daily basis. If you mostly know a card, but miss it on one day for some reason - maybe you were tired or distracted, that card's learning progress should not be totally reset (as if you were learning it from scratch). When I was learning Chinese characters, I did a bit of a deep dive into the Anki algorithm and found that the biggest flaw (imho) was the Ease Factor knocking a card back to 0. I'd still love to create a better open-source SRS algorithm at some point in the future. Doing so will remove the user synonym.Nice article! This would've been very helpful a few years back when I was attempting to make an Anki clone while teaching myself to code. If you wish to remove an existing user synonym, you can do so at any time by clicking on the X on the badge. Once it is saved, it will show up in the UI as grey badge. Once you have finished typing it in, press the ENTER key to submit the new user synonym. That will pop open a new input that you can type your user synonym into. There you can click on the Add synonym button to add a new synonym. You can add a user synonym at any time by first navigating to the page of the word you want to add it for. If it does, HanziHero will consider the answer as correct. In addition to the primary and alternate meanings a word has, HanziHero will also check if the answer you provide matches any user synonyms. How user synonym’s workĪ user synonym is an alternate meaning answer that you can type in during your reviews. In that case, you can add your own user synonym. However, there may be times where the meaning(s) we have for the word is slightly different that the one you think of when you see the word. Since a word usually has far less variety in meanings than a character, these provided set of meanings should be sufficient for most users. At HanziHero, each word has a single primary meaning in addition to some alternate meanings. ![]()
