Did you definitely import the decks instead of adding? Have you made sure the media folders contain audio files and that they are in the same directory as the .anki files under “My Documents” on the C: Drive or whatever your main drive is with a user profile?
Have to disagree with Tae Kim there. SRS is extremely useful for a lot of people, myself included. However, he does raise good points about there should be a longer gap if you choose easy when reviewing new words, and the interface of Anki.
Hello and welcome to TF!
Anki is sort of bland on the design and graphical side, and some of the features aren’t beginner friendly, but it does the job. There are other SRS apps out there like http://www.mnemosyne-proj.org/. If you choose a new SRS app, it would mean creating all your Anki decks from scratch to use with the new SRS app unless they can read Anki decks.
I think this built in SRS app should be rolled out soon due to the amount of problems I see people having with Anki. It could be designed in a way that means you can review what you’ve already studied offline.
Write about anything on Lang-8. The main purpose is to improve your skills.
The pronunciation for 一人 does sound a bit like しとり. I guess that’s how Koichi pronounces it. In the sentence deck there’s a sentence that contains 一人, the female speaker pronounces is more like ひとり. I pronounce it like that too. Best bet is to stick to how it’s written and if you get it wrong, then you’ll know for the future.
七人 is a counter. Not all counters use the kun’yomi reading. Some use the on’yomi reading. These are best learnt straight up instead of guessing the patterns. You can learn some counters here if you’re interested http://www.tofugu.com/guides/japanese-counters-guide/
Radicals are really just to help you identify a Kanji. I don’t really review them that often once I’ve initially learnt them. I suppose they are beneficial when you get to more complicated Kanji though. Which Kanji and Radical are you referring to?
Michael Lowrey: Did he say anything about a wanikani like implementation.I know he mentioned doing away with anki but wasnt sure how he wanted to structure it.
He said in a blog update a few months ago, he wants to use a built in SRS for TextFugu. I don’t mind using Anki but I think it would sort out all those issues some people have with Anki like media not playing. A WaniKani integration makes sense. TF for lessons and grammar. WaniKani for Kanji and vocab.
Add Lang-8 to that list as well^^
Just downloaded it. Looks great. Thanks everyone for the heads up
I know it’s not like people have stopped handwriting completely, but with technology so dominant and even native Japanese people experiencing ‘Kanji Amnesia’, this does make me think that learning to hand write is a waste of time. On the flip side, you never know when you might need to hand write something and I’d hate to live in Japan without at least having some skill of being able to write. As you can see, I can’t decide what to do, haha :D
I use Evernote to take down notes on TF lessons and I go by that to see where I’ve got up to. A bookmark feature would be useful but I can see problems arising as others have mentioned. A quiz at the end of each lesson is a good idea. It would reinforce what you’ve just learnt and would add extra motivation.
Hello and welcome to the TF universe!
You can add recall cards to your anki decks. This is basically doing the reverse of what you’ve been doing so far. You’ll have a card with an English word or sentence, and then you test yourself by answering in Japanese. I will be implementing this into my studies soon. It will help out a lot with translating between English and Japanese.
