Is there a good alternative to doing Anki or flashcards in general?
Been years since I last (seriously) studied. I was deep into Core 2k/6k (around halfway through) and have my own deck of mined words. I absolutely **dreaded** reviewing everyday. Pretty sure that in the last six months or so of my Anki reviews, I’ve been halfheartedly passing/failing cards just to get it over with. At that point, all that kept me going was my review streak that lasted years.
Been thinking about keeping a simple list for words that piqued me like:
* 艦隊決戦 – kantai kessen; fleet decisive battle
* 誘惑 – yuuwaku; seduction
And just going through it every now and then, but it is pretty inefficient in terms of learning. Only saving grace is it’s easy to do and at least I can cope that I’ll have more time to devote to reading.
