Actually, that is why I want to make this deck!

I have learnt the conjugation rules, and I can recognise them when I see them written or hear them spoken, but I want to improve my production so I don't have to pause every time I want to try to use a conjugation that I am a bit crap at remembering. The causative and imperative seem to give me particular trouble. So I wanted to make me a deck that just springs random verbs on me and asks me to answer with a particular conjugation. So it would just give me a random verb like 抑える and a random conjugation like the caustive, so the answer would be 抑えさせる (right?!). And hopefully by doing that they will trip off my tongue much more smoothly.

Thanks for all the advice though - I will check out the dropbox link when I am home.

I followed the instructions in the Anki manual, and I think I did it right, because the proper font now displays in the Anki client and on Ankiweb. But the iPhone app (Anki Flashcards) isn't displaying the new font.

On the Android version fonts aren't picked up (they are synced) when placed alongside the media. I believe you have to place the fonts in a special 'fonts' sub-directory.

The iphone app probably requires you to do something similar.

@Taurus

I don't have the Baron's Verb deck (I do have the book... somewhere), but I would imagine it should be as simple as reversing the default cards.

If it's this one:
https://ankiweb.net/shared/info/3671628229

The fields on that deck should be:
Front: to collide [intr.]
Back: ぶつかる
Tags :

So I would guess you just need to have the 'front' field on the front of the card. I'd imagine the initial order will be one verb and then each form, but you can randomise/modify the scheduling in the card browser.

How do I get rid of the reading of the kanji in the example sentence? For some reason it tells the reading in brackits, I can't really figure out why. This is the code (from core6k):

<span style="font-size: 28px; ">{{Vocabulary-English}}</span> <span style="font-size: 15px; color: #5555ff">{{Vocabulary-Pos}}</span><br>
{{Caution}}<br>
<span style="font-family: ＭＳ ゴシック; font-size: 32px;
">{{Sentence-Clozed}}</span><br>
{{Caution}}<br>
{{Sentence-Image}}<br>

{{kanji:Sentence-Clozed}} (same question was asked a month ago in Nukemarine's thread).

Is it safe to get rid of all the images in the Core deck by deleting the image field entirely, or does it somehow screw up the deck?

Thank you!
@ Termy I don't see how that could screw up your deck.

It'd make it harder to get them back if you ever changed your mind, but other than that, no.

Is there an equally quick way to do it without removing the field, so the images get deleted entirely from ankiweb, comp and phone after I synchronize again?

Just delete the image files themselves, then sync.

Removing all references to the image fields from the card template(s), followed by Check Media, seems to be the simplest way.

Remove the fields from the card layout, and disable media syncing. After that you can freely delete the media without losing the references to them (the image field).

Question: I keep trying to import a text file (first field is keyword and second field is the kanji, per RTK1) to make an RTK1 deck but when I do that, the kanji field appears a "?" instead of the kanji.

Yet if I import a pre-made deck it displays the kanji correctly. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks.

I suspect it is the encoding of the text file. Make sure it is saved as UTF-8.

I'd like to go through the 'A Dictionary of Japanese Grammar' complete deck that some kind soul here shared. As I already know most points and mainly want to fill in small gaps, I do not want to go through the whole thing as that would be quite inefficient. For every grammar point there are several notes with different example sentences. I'd like to suspend all but one for each of the grammar points (and if I struggle with the grammar I'll manually unsuspend the rest of the cards). How do I do that?

Using the 'Find Duplicates', Anki nicely groups the cards into the roughly 600 different grammar points. How can I proceed to automatically/randomly select one of these cards for each 'duplicate group' and unsuspend/mark it?

I don't think you can do that in Anki, but you can export the notes as text, use a spreadsheet program to make the grammar point field the first field (if it's not already) and import with "Ignore lines where first field matches existing note".

Hey guys is there any way at all to change your hotkeys on anki? I would like to change "Suspend Card" to a number key?

How do i check my progress on anki? How would i know when i'm done with the deck?
Also, is it possible to use anki on different computers? For example i'd be at the library then feel like doing my anki reviews, how could i pull any random computer and do my reviews? If even possible.

@ murtada
Click the little bar graph icon in the upper right of anki to see a bunch of graphs detailing your progress. Anki will tell you that you ran out of cards if thats what you mean by "done with the deck". Just don't add too many or you'll have too many reviews in a week or two.

You can use anki on multiple computers. If you're going to use it on a library computer it's probably best to use the web version at https://ankiweb.net so you don't have to install anything.

I don't think anki can do this, but there are several programs that will re-map your hotkeys to anything you want. On osx, you can do it though the system prefs keyboard pane.

In Windows, you can use Autohotkey for that and much, much more.

Is there a way to suspend multiple cards at once on Anki web?
Also this is a Kanji Koohi question but is there a way to add stories to the reviews without tediously doing it one by one?

There's no way to work on multiple cards at once using AnkiWeb. You need the desktop client for that. If you have good tags, you can make a filtered deck of cards you'd like to work on on the go, and then fix the ones you need to fix when you're back at one of your PCs.

My question:
What should I do with vocab leeches (cards I get wrong often)? My format is:
Front: Word
Back: Word[w/ furigana], definitions

Suspend those leeches. It might be hard at first because you've already invested time in halfway learning them, but that's the sunk cost bias. They are going to end up eating up a lot more of your time if you don't suspend them now. The supermemo site says "Eliminating 10% of the most difficult items in generic material may produce an increase in the speed of learning of up to 300%". So you could keep trying to learn that word or you could suspend it and learn 3 others instead.

I have found that going back to the leeches after a few months makes a lot of them easier to remember. Studying sentences concurrently with vocab also helps committing them to memory.

I had a quick question about the size of the core deck (I think this is the right thread to post it on).

I'm getting an android phone with limited storage space and no upgradable storage abilities. I would like to store my anki decks on my phone as well if possible, which includes the core deck. As far as I can tell the android app is pretty small, but are the core deck media files also fairly small? I checked my media folder and it looks like there is only about 500 mb in there, which seemed a bit small for all those picture and audio clips for the core cards? Or is that just because they are in a small sized format? I would just prefer to not take up all my phone's memory because of Anki or something like that, so I wanted to make sure

I've never used the core decks so I don't know if 500mb is a reasonable size or not. However, as far as I know anki stores all the media in the folder you looked at, so it should be correct. If you want to double-check you can make an anki-web account and force a full sync including all the media and check how much data gets uploaded (you'll probably want to do that once you have your phone anyways).
