If you want audio (not for speaking practice but for multisensory integration) and you have Misaki or Show voice engines, you can use the TTS Anki plugin. Although it comes out tinny, I think the plugin outputs the audio wrong.

That's a lot of sentences. Maybe I'll incorporate it into my sentence deck at a later time.
Oh yea, do you guys know where to find audio-conversations about various topics. I think there was a few posted here but I can't find it. I remember it had various topics on psychology,regular conversation,etc
Thanks in advance!

http://forum.koohii.com/showthread.php?pid=44048#pid44048 - As I mention there, several other places from ages past, and in the recent AJATT commercialization thread, that's something I've been hoping people living in Japan will do more often, record everyday, unscripted stuff. So far no takers, but one day...

Similarly, I added cards that converted just the verbs of the vocabulary deck to conjugation clozed.

This is only something that is possible with Japanese I think. You have to figure out the type of verb from just the sentence and the kanji of the verb. Similarly, you have to know what the sentence is trying to convey, and know the proper conjugation for that grammar type.

I don't think you could accomplish this with English or French very easily, but maybe I'm wrong:

I went [...walk] in the park. Is the answer "to walk", "walking", "for a walk", etc.
公園で歩[...]いた。　公園で歩[...]いった。

You know it's for walking, but the Japanese question is less vague on the answer. With English, you'd have to put the (past progressive) and other stuff to make it bit obvious what the question is looking for.

I think it's also referred to around here simply as "smart.fm"; one thing I'm not sure of is whether smart.fm is synonymous with Core 2000. (Also, I'm not entirely sure what the difference is between Core 2000 and Kanji Odyssey 2001, but that's another question.) Anyway, check it out here: http://smart.fm/goals/19053-japanese-core-2000-step-1

I think a recognition deck tests recognition of Japanese, whereas production asks you to translate English into Japanese. Thus Heisig's recommended method (in which you look at an English keyword and then draw a kanji) would seem to be production. I think. Again, I'm new to this too.

Production has the advantage of being a more "active" style of learning. I find I have to work harder to go from Heisig keyword to kanji than vice-versa, and that may cement things better. On the other hand, recognition has the advantage of building up our ability to process "inputs", and some argue that it's more important to understand what's being said to you than to be able to speak like a silver-tongued Nero. The blogger who runs the website "All Japanese all the Time" (AJATT), for example, emphasizes the importance of "inputs." I suppose both arguments have their merits, and I'm pretty confused about what I'll be doing once I'm done with RTK.

As for AJATT 10,000 sentences. I have gotten to 10 500+ sentences in 8.1 months and I must say my reading/understanding skills are becoming close to fluent. But I don't plan on stopping with 10,000 sentences. I'll basically keep going until I've completely gotten fluent. Input helps with the speaking process as it helps you adapt to japanese, you'll eventually not need a translation or anything to understand japanese.
