It took me a few years on and off to settle with a particular way of doing things with Anki, but if a card has low importance (like the capital city of Comoros or something) I'd rather see it and skip it than just suspend it. I can still sort of remember it at times but its not overly important to my life obviously. This reduces the hold Anki has over me and I just generally feel better.. If it has no importance its gone, deleted rather than suspended!

This and some other things (like learning directly from Anki) messes up the stats quite a bit, but as this is my style I couldn't care less. It doesn't keep me up at night..

Awesome. I can't wait till the reviews start to get a bit easier. A bit hard on the old brain to attempt to remember a few hundred new kanji added over the space of a day, lol,

Quote:Today's accuracy was at 93.1% and more often than not my wrong answers have been on the easy ones.

Nice. It's usually the simple/older/easier ones I find myself forgetting, even though a lot of them are part of more complex kanji. Though, that's what the SRS is there for, I suppose.

Quote:Review times are starting to approach 1 hour or less, which is the point at which I'll consider myself to have made it.

Give it a year or two and your reviews will probably end up being 30 minutes every day or so- or at least I hope.

I think I'll hit that thirty minute mark a lot sooner than in a year or two. At least I hope so, and it kinda looks like it right now: http://bayimg.com/hagJcaaeb

You're right. The comment was made before I was able to experience just how fast RtK reviews become. My daily kanji reviews are roughly around 300 cards/ 1 hour. Most of the time is spent reviewing and studying sentences. Now THAT is taking some time. 150+ sentences today (not included reviews from the previous day sentences) took hours to do. Still marginally faster than the day before.

Anki works if you let it do it's job, I guess.

I'm still not really on the sentences (though I had a 100 Tae Kim sentence day)

I'll do MCD sentences/paragraphs after this, and since those are easy to do I think my reviews will be very quick for those, though there will of course be more cards for each sentence.

Edit: a question for you guys with review times of 5-10 seconds: Do you actually write out the Kanji? I can't see myself getting over my current 19 second average per card, or maybe only a little, without stopping to write the Kanji - and I don't write them out on paper or anything, I just use my finger to draw them in the air or my computer mouse to trace them on the screen.

See if you can spot the month off I took between jobs. Also, wow, Anki can't give me a forecast when I look at my lifetime stats.

......oh god, almost 25,000 mature cards!? Impressive! :O

and mine
Not sure how accurate it is given how there's a bunch of decks I deleted, moved around and did various things to. Either way, these are the decks I'm sticking to so I assume it's the stats that matter, right?
Damn, I missed lots of days =/. Funny how they get past without you noticing.

It really make me wonder why your new vocabulary has a higher "correct" rate, than your repetitions have....

Also 25k questions... Pretty impresive, how much does this cover?
And how do you avoid learning stuff which Japanese people don't know them selves?

And when whould you say it is a good time to stop learning kanji?

I'm not sartak, but I doubt he'd reply anytime soon so...
1.)idk
2.)eventually, you selectively choose what you want to learn based on intuition, experience, and interest.
3.)no specific answer. many kanji will be relearned during your Japanese studies.

Yearh. I was just curious. I am at 17,5k cards (113k reps), and the things I start to learn seem to be less and less relevant, maybe because I am focusing too much on kanji.

Although I guess I should just start working on more vocab sorted by frequency in use. Or even at one point learn the grammar(lol) ^^

235k reviews.. thats sick

Its kind of funny how my % correct goes down slightly as it gets later in the day... also how flat the curve for mature card expiration is. The first thing is definitely a mental fatigue thing.. the second, I dunno.

Yeah so japanese is only like 50% of my cards.. but all that progress in the last year has been mostly exclusively japanese cards, because that's when I kicked myself into shape and got serious about the whole thing. Haven't missed a day, since. In that graph, the 2nd peak is RTK1+3, and the 3rd peak is for when I got into Core6k more, and started doing 60new/day. After that I needed to slow it down because as you can see, the review time got a bit out of control.. so now I'm doing 20new/day.

I gotta say, I'm not a big fan of how anki2 handles graphs.. like when you click "deck life" all you get is like 5 fat bars. Yah. Great. Because who needs resolution.. 5 pixels should do.
And then those bars are just summations over a time period that keeps changing, so getting any meaningful information out of the y-axis is really impractical... you'd basically have to have a calculator in hand the whole time. And then its missing the nice 3 month and 6 month windows too...

Here's the graph for my entire collection for the past year. The suspended/mature/young graph is a little messed up because I'm doing test prep right now for KanKen 2級 and 準2級.

Those 4-6 week spikes in activity are me racing through drill books before KanKen tests, and then taking time off from new material for a while.

I'm quite sure that the "Days studied" isn't entirely correct. I think I've missed like 5 days.

Also, I have few huge decks (DoB/I/AJG) that are entirely suspended, and I just unsuspend cards when I want to learn them. Thus the 58% suspended cards..

Clicky

Nothing impressive, really; I've only been using Anki for like 9 months...

I'd show you my Anki graph but I can't remove the mosaic.

I've excluded learn/relearn from the hourly breakdown; the rest of the vanilla stats are calculated as in vanilla Anki.

Contains 6137 abandoned cards (plus however many I abandoned by suspending), 6105 of which were mature, about 2000 of which don't show up in the Maturing Cards graph because I matured them straight out of Learning and never reviewed them again.

Does anyone know how he has "relearn" under "Answer Buttons"?

Same reason I have success graphs: I made an addon. https://ankiweb.net/shared/info/1999018922 (success graphs not included)

I've only included the last year from my vocabulary deck because my other stuff isn't so important. I tend to have large bursts of adding vocabulary after long periods spent studying some other area; currently that's Skritter for me, which I have to admit is a wonderful app. I went from only being able to accurately recall and write maybe 3/10 words on paper, to only occasionally having to check a word or 2 every now and then in the space of about 200 hours of study time (around 2 months for me).

Thank you. I'll leave a positive review.
