Anki Review (for 2021)

Welcome to another app review blog! Today, our LTL Taiwan School Director, Alex shares with us his Anki Review.

As an avid language learner of many years, I have gone through many different methods of learning languages. I have also used many different software, apps and tools through many of my languages.

It is a guilty pleasure of mine in fact that whenever I tried out a new tool, to get the most objective results, I also started a new language using that tool.

This in turn resulted in me studying many different languages using many different tools.

Among the tools I’ve used, I’ve used Anki Flashcards the longest. The current statistics of my account show that I’ve been using it for 1132 days of out of a total of 1488 days since I first started using it. So about 4 years now, as of December 2020.

As such, I believe I have reached a good understanding of the app and its methods to be able to give a relatively objective and comprehensive review of it.

Anki vs Quizlet (for 2021) Which is Better? Plus a Bonus Recommendation

When trying to learn Chinese vocabulary, flash cards are one of the best methods, so let’s put two of the most popular flash card apps to the test: Anki vs Quizlet.

What is Anki?

Anki was originally created as an online flashcard website by developer Damien Elmes back in 2006.

Originally, the app was not even an app, but rather just a website where people could sign up for an account, enter their own flashcards in their own decks, and review them.

Since then, Anki has grown to have a huge following, with apps both for the iOS and Android devices (called Ankidroid). They’re even having clones of it made by other developers!

The app as it stands is completely free both on the computer and on Android devices, with a somewhat hefty cost on iOS devices, price at 25$ USD. This is the one that I have.

As the app works based on an account, all information can be synced between the various devices one has with relative ease.

How does Anki Work?

Anki is in all essence a Flashcards app with a Spaced Repetition System (SRS) incorporated in it.

As one begins using it, one would normally create a deck for information one would like to learn.

This means you can use the app not only for learning languages, but also any other topics you might be interested in.

Once you have created a Deck with questions and answers (or “Front” and “Back” as it would normally be called in Anki), the system will allow you to review the Cards in the Deck.

It will show you the question first, and once you tap again, show you the answer.

At the answer page, it gives you an option to let it know whether you got the answer right easily, with some difficulty or didn’t get it at all.

The above is the main crux of the SRS method, as based on the option you chose (Easy, Hard, Again). Anki will then place the same card to reappear later again based on a specific duration, for example, 3 days later, 1 day later or in 10 minutes, respectively based on your choice.

The more often you see the card and more often you get the correct answer, the farther away the next time the card reappears.

This allows you to strengthen your memory of the card by giving you bigger and bigger spaces in between repetitions, allowing your power of recall to become stronger.

Everyday you will have a certain amount of cards that are reviews of previous cards you’ve seen, and new cards that you haven’t seen before, but will start reappearing after their first appearance.

LingoDeer Review (2021) – One of the Most Complete Chinese Learning Apps

LingoDeer App Review (2021) LingoDeer App Review (2021) Hello deer readers, welcome to another app review by LTL Mandarin School! (See what I did there?) Today we will talk about LingoDeer, an app used daily by some of our LTL…

Who is Anki for?

Anki is built for all learners who wish to learn and memorize information that they want to focus on.

This is mostly great for specifically learning languages, as a language requires accurate memory of pronunciation and the exact sound of the word.

It however also works for topics unrelated to languages, such as if you are preparing for an important exam and need to cram a lot of information in advance.

Or, as an even more exaggerated example, cramming information for a quiz, such as the famous example of Roger Craig, who in 2010, obtained a record for single-day winnings in the TV show Jeopardy by using Anki to memorize a huge number of facts in preparation.

Anki Customisation

Aside from the normal way Anki is used, the real aspect where Anki shines is its ability to allow for customisation.

This means that any person can create the cards exactly as he/she wants them to appear.

For example, instead of showing the question and answer, you can change it to show the answer and then the question.

Or for example with a language like Chinese, you can customize Anki to show you the word in Hanzi characters only, and then show you the Pinyin as the answer.

Alternatively, if you are practicing reading Pinyin, you can have the cards appear as the Pinyin first and then as an audio file to listen to the exact pronunciation.

Based on this question and answer method and multiple fields you can separate by and show in one or the other side or both (for example, Chinese in Simplified Characters, Chinese in Traditional Characters, English, Chinese audio, English audio, Pinyin and even frequency of the word), the options for how you wish to make the flashcards your own is virtually limitless.

An even bigger gem in this whole process is that thanks to the big following Anki has online, people can share their cards with each other through the Ankiweb online database.

As such, everyone can enjoy lots of decks of loads of topics, languages and materials.

Aside from the shared decks, there are also many add-ons one can install into Anki to allow for special options and abilities.

Some of my favourite are the ability to auto-advance (question turns to answer and answer turns to the next card after a set amount of seconds), which I use to listen to the language and immerse myself in it.

Let’s not forget the Text-to-Speech (TTS) add-on! It gives an option to have different TTS sources, such as Google, OSX Speech, Microsoft and others read out your cards and save them as an audio file, which you can add to the deck.

My Method

As I am a big proponent of listening to and realising patterns from common phrases and sentences. I use Anki mainly as a tool for repetitions and review of sentences.

For many of my languages, I collect them from Shared Decks created by other users, with some of them coming from the Tatoeba Project sentence databa
