Anki makes vocabulary learning fast and easy
I start each morning with a review of three Anki decks: one I made from the textbook we use, one is the first Spanish word list from Teach Yourself to Learn a Language, and one is of random Spanish words that I run across in reading Spanish-language newspapers, Spanish books, etc. At this point I am mostly reviewing words, though after the course ends later this month I’ll build a deck for the vocabulary in the second-semester text and start learning that.
The daily review goes fast: this morning, I whipped through 207 words in 15 minutes. Only a handful presented a problem, and those of course will show up tomorrow as well.
