So how do you change your anki settings? I have only used 1 min, 10 min, 4 days.

Rivvie Wrote:I'm curious, what do you find so horrible now?Thanks for asking, I wouldn't have otherwise thought about this properly. I couldn't answer that question, I didn't really know why it was so bad so I had to think things through. Here's the conclusion:
I spent too much time doing it on the weekend. I think I spend about 10 hours a day reviewing a couple of minutes, then reading blogs for a while and then coming back to Anki. I thought it'd be easier that way but NO IT WAS NOT.
So I decided to add a hundred cards one more time. I finished it in about 6 "real" hours (anki says 3h) and it was a piece of cake.
By the way, during the week I also learned a lot about learning. If a word had a kanji I knew from RTK2, it was a lot easier. Every time I made a mnemonic, words became surprisingly easy to learn, no matter how bad the mnemonic was. Associating the mnemonic with the kanji's image from RTK1 was very useful, too. I didn't really think about these things so much when I learned words at a slower pace.
The next thing I'm going to do is to finish RTK2, that's for sure. After it I'd like to try something weird again. How about a month of 500 words a week?
