Extracting vocabulary - Tori-kun - 2013-02-09
Seems like I cannot access the online Anki deck repository with Anki 1.2.1, so I will have to create my own SAT vocabulary deck. I'm not preparing for the test itself; I just want to polish up my English a little bit, as I think it would be also beneficial for my Japanese learning..
I found two websites providing an extensive lists of vocab I have never seen in English before, which I want to extract somehow and create a *.tsv excel sheet that I can import comfortably in Anki. Enterting everything manually would cost a lot of time
I have no idea how to, though. Perhaps someone could teach me how to??
Anyway, here you go.

It's E-E and the definitions are great since they are sentences that describe the meaning in a very clear and concise way. Here's an example:
concise = Something that is concise says everything that is necessary without using any unnecessary words.
I like to add an example sentence (also included on the book) to Anki with the word underlined, with the definition on the back of the card.
Of course I mainly use the electronic version which makes adding the sentences to Anki easier. However, it's still manual labor. However, the 4th and 6th edition e-dictionaries are not so good so the 5th edition is your best bet.

Yay, a fellow!
I have the Oxford Advanced Learners Dictionary (8th) on CD. Right now, I write down all the words I encounter while reading books in English (currently "God is not great" by Christopher Hitchens and "Fifty Shades of Grey" lol) and learning Japanese vocabulary.
We could create a google spreadsheet, right? It's possible to import those in Anki as far as I know (I'm still on Anki 1.2.1 just for your note).
I'm also want to add example sentences to the vocabulary, however, I kind of need my German translation on the back of the card haha Some learning habit, I suppose.
If you're up for the spreadsheet idea, let me now!
[Edit]
I wonder how to convert this dictionary into EPWING. I could be usable with E2A then...
Also, there is http://dict.cc, which is free and opensource as it seems, however, I have no plan whatsoever how to utilise these databases T-T

Ok, started off a spreadsheet. I hope this will be beneficial for all those wanting to polish up their English skills.
Just start adding some rare/erudite terms! :O

I'm fine with the old Anki..
Gosh, if I knew how to even call this "extraction" process, I would google it and learn how to code up something lol

Though I'm not going to diss on my Oxford dictionary, I prefer dictionary.com; it rarely disappoints. Also word of the day and random quizzes and "did you know this word"

Or if you just select the text in the tables, at least Safari and Chrome on OS X copy it as TSV.
I just made another text file for English words to review. I exported the GRE Words List and Vocabulary 4000 (English) Anki decks as TSV and selected words to review after filtering the lists by word frequency in subtitles:
freq=$(sed -n 50000,200000p frequency_subs.txt | cut -d' ' -f1)
cat words.txt | while read l; do grep -xq "${l%%:*}" <<< "$freq" && echo "$l"; done

Oh yes I missed them! Thanks for pointing out! Is there a way to copy those into the spreadsheet replacing existant entries?
Here's the spreadsheet btw: http://is.gd/t4vc4M
[Edit] I struggle with Excel -- does anyone know how to make the first column fixed an unaffected from "Sorting A->Z"?? don't want to pull it up every time
