    Hello wonderful people :)
    So, I’m new to Textfugu, and so I had never even heard of this Anki programme before that Koichi puts into the lessons.
    I feel silly for having to ask this, but if you don’t ask, you don’t learn, right?
    Is anyone out there kind enough to give me a complete walk through of the programme? I think it is V2..

    I also have Ankidroid, and have found it a little easier, but so far I have only tried it with the ‘shared decks’ that seem to magically import themselves into the programme. But as soon as I go onto TextFugu (still on my phone) and find an Anki download to do, such as..Sentences…kanji 1 radicals or whatever, I click the link, it says that it’s downloading the stuff, but I have found no way of moving it into Anki.

    What I was planning on doing was getting all of the anki decks through Ankidroid and then syncing that to my computer, seeing as I can’t even seem to import files correctly on the computer Anki… :(

    I would really love to be able to use this software..it looks so simple and it will really help with my learning…help?

    Depending on what browser you are using it will be slightly different but the following will look given you have some basic computer knowledge.

    First make a folder somewhere that you want to store your Anki files.

    Next when you see a link in TextFugu for Anki files right click it and choose save as (save link as) or whatever it’s called in your browser, this should allow you to choose what folder to save it to. Find the folder you made and save it to that location.

    Then open the folder and you should find a .zip file with the same name that you just downloaded. You need to unzip that file. Once it’s unzipped there should be a file with the Anki logo on it (gray square with two blue stars), if you open up Anki first, all you need to do is double click that file and it will import it into Anki.

    Let me know if you have any trouble with any of those directions. I’ll be back on a few hours from now.

    -Cheers
