User's Anki decks thread - Tori-kun - 2011-07-22
Hey folks,
Asriel has suggested somewhere in a topic long ago that users could possibly post their own decks here on the forums for the benefit of all. (Everybody has different Q/A structures, different approaches to memorising, learning and different styles and fonts making it easier or more difficult for some to learn.)
Feel free to post!
Note: It'd be useful to have a description of the deck, i.e. what is included (and how tagged?) and what level it is aimed for. Currently I'm working only with my regular core6k deck, so.. shall I upload it?:x
User's Anki decks thread - Surreal - 2011-08-03
Bringing this back.
I have one deck to share (zip file with .anki file and the few pictures, of plants and stuff, that the deck uses): http://www.mediafire.com/?4pxg3xfqdep7eok
Sample card: http://postimage.org/image/1scaobin8/
The deck has all of the RTK1 kanji with japanese words along with 大辞林 definitions of the word for many of the first 2014 cards. The English keywords are whited out and the kanji being tested is replaced with its yomi in hiragana (bolded inside definitions and for example in つかう the つか part would be bolded) everywhere in the question or replaced with a ◎ or something (I haven't been entirely consistent with the symbol but I think it will be obvious what is meant) when the word is a two-kanji kun-yomi compound.
It's not completed yet, I'm changing the cards as I do my reviews and I think I've given maybe 40-50% (it's hard for me to tell) of all the cards the treatment. For some cards I decided not to replace the english keyword as I found no good, common words for the kanji. For very few cards, less than 10, I actually removed the English keyword as I thought it was just entirely too confusing, I did this before I had any plans on sharing the deck. Moreover, I think there's still a few cards with example sentences that are just wrong. These are sentences I put in the deck long ago, grabbing them from wrightak's excel sheet (http://sites.google.com/site/wrightak2/afterrtk12). With all due respect - wrightak was the one who inspired me to do this to begin with - some of them use very strange Japanese and need to be replaced. Some of the cards have sentences that I looked up on the 'Net and put in myself, so it's not like all the sentences are problematic either. I apologize for that and I'll keep fixing it as I go.
If you are pretty new to Heisig I can't recommend that you use this deck as it will probably hinder your basic learning of kanji too much, just like what people in the "Japanese Keyword" thread has been saying about similar decks (check them out here http://forum.koohii.com/showthread.php?tid=929&page=1). This is mainly for people with >1 year old kanji decks.
It is a work in progress and I'm guessing I won't be done changing all 2014 cards until about a year from now since I do them as I go. I haven't used Heisig for any more kanji (just been picking them up without using any method) so I don't know if and when I'll get around to making this kind of cards for other common kanji. I'll post the deck up again when I have >95% done. What I'd really like is a better or complementary format to share it in than just a raw deck, since that makes it hard to pick and choose what you want from it. If anyone has tips on how to solve this, please tell me.
If the info from my deck can somehow be added to wrightak&co's project then that's great. I really don't have any feelings of ownership for it. If it helps you and/or the community, rip the thing apart and do anything you want with it, use it however you want, as long as there is no money-making involved. It's mostly just 大辞林 copy-pasta to begin with anyway.
Anyway, hopefully you, dear reader, have some use of this, even though it's not in an ideal format and even though it's not finished. Maybe it helped you by giving you the idea of copying in definitions yourself! Whatever's fine.
Edit: Oh, yeah! If anyone has a deck for anatomy (other than the small shared decks available through Anki's database), especially neuroanatomy but other kinds of anatomy as well, please post about it or send me a message!
