Great video! Thanks for sharing. I've been wondering for some time how best to incorporate the conditions for vocabulary learning that Paul Nation discusses in his published work in the context of a spaced repetition application like Anki. As you mentioned, rather than having separate sorts of flashcards for all the different kinds of varied encounters one could have with a word, would would you focus instead on having flashcards/word cards for all the main *types* of words and then associating other words that you have learned with those? That is, would you say that as part of your learning of a word, you can remember that word "A" declines or conjugates like word "B"? How do you go about this in Biblingo?
Sorry for the delayed response! But yes, I think what you've suggested is on the right track. It's useful to categorize words according to morphological patterns and things like that so that you can recognize that word in different forms. Besides that, extensive reading is perhaps the best way to get varied repetition - i.e. reading as many texts as you can with a controlled vocabulary at your level. In Biblingo, you're getting verbatim repetition with flashcards (what we call "Words That Need Practice"), and you're getting varied repetition with practice sentences in the lessons, fluency drills, and extensive reading in the reading comprehension drills. Also, the way we've sequenced vocabulary in our lessons takes things like morphological patterns into account, so you're getting that benefit as well.
Excellent overview and super helpful
