As for me, as I was sick of anki I an doing without it. I'm using only the anki browser, I read tot sentences listening on the same time... when I understand them both with reading only and by listening only, I put the audio on my mp3 player and leave it on the background... I realized it's a huge amount of audio! great for listening comprehension! As for reading, for now I'm re-reviewing kanji so I have no intention to ankiing them until I feel I have mastered the kanji... but for now I'm still at words I already know so I don't feel I need to anki them but eventually I will do. But as your sentences contain by themselves a mix of words I know and new words, just by doing listening comprehension with them I'm learning new words by side-effect! And I have noted that listening is crucial even for reading comprehension! When you understand a spoken word even the written counterpart sticks better! In the past I was doing jpod101 and I think is great, but it is full of redundancy... I know repetition is important but jpod lessons are too slow, at last those for beginners... on the cuntrary if you put all your sentences in an mp3 player you have like hours of listening of many different words and the fact they are auticonclusive short sentences make them less tiring to listen at... you can just do it at random and there is no need to follow long dialogs! Lol sorry for the long post but I wanted to stress more how much great work you and your family have done!
