“I’m not going to be going over it too exhaustively”
Really incredible video man, I love to see how enthusiastic and passionate someone can be about something. Really really helpful. Have a great day.
Hey guys! This video was actually a suggestion by a subscriber so remember that if you have any ideas or constructive criticisms, be sure to leave them in the comments! I read them all :) Enjoy the video!
P.S. Videos will now be in 60 FPS, starting with this one.
Здраво 🙂
Can you do a video on how to stay motivated to learn your target language? (I’m a pretty new subscriber so I don’t know if you already did a video on this)
This is awesome. Thanks a lot. I need some more help please if you can I don't see the fields. I don' see options to review choice for 1m 4m 4 day etc. No dashboard - File Tools etc. Greatly appreciate. Thanks
A large part of the value of using these kinds of tools is in making your own cards, as the selection and thought that goes into that is also a useful tool in the learning process for languages but also just about anything. One of the reasons DuoLingo is poor for memory is that it does not give the user any choice, instead it forces them to repeatedly practise seemingly irrelevant phrases ("I use a razor a week" was one I remember, but because it was so stupid, not for good reason). Choice and thought involved is key here. Build sets from the ground up for better learning and retention (and it's way more fun, too).
Honestly, the learners are supposed to just learn the words and then create other phrases, so it doesn’t really matter if the phrases they show are funny and not something one would say, as long as one learns the actual words and their meaning and how to use them, and one can easily replace the nouns or the verbs etc and create different sentences based on those patterns, but I haven’t used any of those apps myself tho - I only saw others taking those tests in yt videos, and it kind of seemed like fun, but it is for beginners tho!
I am advanced level in Dutch after learning it for a few months, and am trying to find vocab videos that contain rare words and descriptive terms and advanced terms and other words like that, as I’m trying to reach a native speaker level in written Dutch as fast as possible - there should be simple / to the point vocab videos for every pretty language (there are over 38 languages on my list of languages I want to learn and improve) that only contain the word and the English translation and only pronounced once (and related words like other verb forms and plurals for nouns etc should also be included) and the nouns should be shown with the correct article and grammatical gender (m / f / n) which would make learning so much easier, and examples of sentences should also be included esp for certain verbs and prepositions / conjunctions etc, there don’t seem to be such videos for many of those languages, and even the ones made for Dutch, in the 2000 Dutch words video, the nouns were shown without the article, so I learned most articles later!
I haven’t used any apps, and only learning from yt videos and by googling certain words or using the English to Dutch / Dutch to English translator (esp to check the articles) and, also learning many other languages as well, but I’ve been prioritizing Dutch and Norwegian and Welsh (and sometimes Swedish) because I prioritize the prettiest languages first - however, I haven’t felt like learning anything this week, and I can’t even focus, so I haven’t learned many words this week, but I learned over 8.000 base words in Dutch and over 3.500 base words in Norwegian and also in Swedish and about 500 words in Welsh since I started learning languages on my own a few months ago!
Thank you very much for this in-depth video Cole, it's really motivating me to go try it out! All the best for 2022!
I love this kid Cole, full of energy… I can see he is destined for a successful life with this full energy if he continues like this.
And he cute

I think it is a bad idea to use a community deck for a language you are learning. You might as well just put the whole dictionary into a deck. Far better to build your deck yourself from the words you encounter for several reasons. Most importantly, if it is a word that we have already encountered then we are likely to see it again. So, we avoid obsolete or specialized vocabulary. The other reason is that just entering the word into our deck helps in remembering it. Finally, later if we look up a word that we don't know and find it already in our deck we will feel a greater sense of ownership since it is a word we have already tried to remember.
Yes, a community deck is a bad idea. You learn and retain by building the card, especially choosing a photo for that word! That's a huge part of the retention, personal meaning plays a major role in learning.
I'm still figuring out Anki, but that's also a problem with some language apps. Click practice and... Is that even still the same language? What is this word? Then I lie and say I learned it just so it'll let me finish.
Who Uses nowadays a PC for the usage of language apps having the devices such as tablets and mobiles it is so bulky do use a computer so nerdy

Ahhh, you deserve so much more subscribers. Thank youuuu
Thank you too!
Many thanks, I've started using Anki after I've watched your video!
This would do wonders for space repetions and "Memory Palace" .... Thank you so much!!!
Thanks Cole ! You're incredible !!
Dude! Thank you so much! I've heard of Anki before from other polyglot RUclipsrs and those who need to learn characters for Asian languages! And this is exactly the first step I needed! I'm so excited to start!
Very good viedo! Explaned everything that I need to know thx
I just discovered your chanel and I have to say I admire your patience and love for languages, your are really motivating and are trully such an underrated youtuber, looking forward to seeing more of your content, love the omegle vids too💕💕
Amazing video as always !
Thanks so much!
Thank you for such a helpful video! Really really useful ☺️
I just downloaded this app ^_^ Thank you for the uplifting explanation~ Cheers!!
Thank you for sharing the information.
I'll be sure to give it a try! Kiitos vinkistä! 👍
Ole hyvä!!
Great tips for new Anki users, thank you 🙏
Thanks mate, this was relevant and awesome :)
Nice Men. I loved it keep it up. Just installed the app now
great introduction, love your enthusiasm
Thanks man, anki is incredibly effective I occasionally get some anki burnout and use physical flash cards instead but that’s mostly because lockdown has turned my job into staring at a computer, that will change after next week tho so looking forward to starting again equipped with your tips :)
Glad I could help man! I hear ya. I know a thing or two about staring at a computer screen all day
thanks for the video man
Great tutorial. Thank you for taking the time. I want to use it to learn a new language and you went through it in detail. Many thanks. Paul.
gracias por este video! estoy emocionada de probar esto app
So I have downloaded this German deck with 5 fields including audio as the front page of the card. I want to change that and answer questions by showing me the English or the German sentence. I don t want the audio. How do I do it?
Is there a way to separate a deck into verbs, general vocab, expressions, tenses? Do you need separate decks? Are there pre-set Spanish decks that are divided that way. Random just won't work for me with this language. Many thanks for your reply..........
Hi Cole. I have a native speaker as a tutor. I attempted to have her record audio cards I made directly on anki. Now I can't find where that audio clip is stored. Do you know how that works. Any suggestion?
Diane
hello, I downloaded Anki and made a deck. when I hit the study button, both sides of the card show and when I click answer, the page is blank. I uninstalled and reinstalled and I have the same deck showing and it still doesn't work right. What am I doing wrong?
thank you.
Does anyone have any recommendations of community/shared desks essential for begineers learning Spanish? And how do I insert audio recordings of a word when making my own cards?
When I downloaded the top deck for mandarin though it's giving me words that I don't feel like a beginner needs to know like soda or wonton or shrimp. Is it out of order or does it need to be ranked by word frequency or something. I want the most used words first
How do I get Anki to show me examples when reviewing? I have the examples field but it doesn't show it to me..
Amazing, man. I had no idea how to download those decks. Thanks a lot!
Where can I find that SpoonFedChinese deck? I didn't find it through clicking on Get Shared.
Nice dude!
Hi. How did you set it up to have only 3 buttoms in answer instead of 4 (again, dood, easy)? How do I do that on ankidroid?
Download link for anki isn't in description but not hard to google either
Hey Cole, I've used Anki for years, but just recently started using Awesome TTS, now that I want to learn French. When I apply Awesome TTS to the back side cards of my French deck, it automatically applies the French pronunication to both my German and Spanish decks. Now my German and Spanish cards are pronounced in a ridiculous French accent. How do I apply Awesome TTS to just one deck, so it does not automatically apply to all three decks? Thank you!
You need customer support directly from Anki.
I Wasn't found the get shared function. thanks for your help
Great Video :)
What deck is best online for mandarin for beginners
whats the spanish decks you downloaded, awesome video man thanks!
Can this app be used to learn a computer programming language like C++?
Hello. Can you help me a little? I installed anki on my android phone for learning greek. The problem is I only find a few dousins flashcards. Is the database so small? I got the ideea that there are thousands of flashcards sets. Thank you
How come when I import a shared deck that says it has 5000 words I will only get 20 or so. That's happened for every deck I try to download both on desktop and mobile. The decks are always way way smaller than what it was said to have. Any idea what is going on here? Am I missing something? Thanks for your video.
Theres a cap on new cards per day. You can change this in the settings. The imported cards are still there, it will just increase visible ones at a slow pace so you can better learn and memorize.
Great video, dude. Peace from Brazil ✌️
How do you get translations right ? I heard that stuff like google translate is wrong a lot
большое спасибо за видео, очень полезно
Did you find many decks for Portugal(European) Portuguese?
Thank you!
Is there any way to embed anki into wordpress ?
Thank you
What's up with the 30 max reviews?
Can anyone recommend a good Russian deck for me please? I've been using the deck "10000 Russian sentences" but I don't feel like I'm learning much from it.
Hello Cole, do you know if Anki can do voice recognition to validate pronunciation? I'm learning a new language.
great question. I would love to know that
Thx let me know this incredible software.
I hate Anki so much, but it's probably one of the best learning devices. And I'm here uploading decks again.
I was so confused when you rated Anki below Duolingo on the tier video. And also didn't think Duo belonged in the S-tier slot. Anki and LingQ are probably 2 of the best for learning, but are F-tier in their user-friendliness and UI. I remember getting so frustrated with some MIA add-ons. Anyway, thanks for the inspiration to fire Anki back up. xo
ty for explaining the self explanatory stuff
Language formulas anyone got them?
your hand gestures are making me forget all the vocab I learned on Anki
Anki and other SRS are so powerful that it almost feels illegal to use them.
Grazie mille
Ahh thank you. I’m not good with technology and you’re the only person that actually explained this for someone like me lol.
Also, what’s your opinion on handmade Flashcards? Do you ever use them or just stick to anki? I’m a fan of both (from what I’ve tried of the mobile version of anki) but I was just wondering your opinion on them is.
You're very welcome! And I'm not the biggest fan of handmade flashcards. Nothing against them in particular, I've just always found more success with electronic ones. Plus I can never seem to find any index cards when I need them hahaha
YYYOOOOO
Someone give this guy a set of handcuffs! J/K. Good info.
ANKI IS THE BEST APP/SITE
I AGREE hahahaha
Agreed. Easy to use, you can use it whenever it suits.
this is free?
You know what? I am trying to use an English video to find someway to learn Japanese, even though I am Chinese, crazy.
I didn't know there were shared decks!
You remind me of Simon from 7th Heaven mixed with Jesse McCartney and Ben Shapiro kinda.
Ben Shapiro? That is a terrible thing to accuse someone of.
Aniki???
Fine if you already know what is about. Just runs through options and menus without explaining why or how would use it. Not suitable for getting of the ground
Not "complete" in any way, there are many extremly important things that were not even mentioned.
Mike what brother ? Suggest me some !
@@thegreatest1016 Didn't even talk about ease. 10 minutes is not enough for a "complete" guide.

The biggest problem is why use flashcards in the first place. I have never used flashcards. I don't understand them. I don't know why anyone would want to use them. First, it takes a long time to write them. Second, it may take a long time to read them and get the answers correctly. Third, they look boring, tiring, tedious and time-consuming.
Why not just read a book? In the same time you create and read flashcards you could just read a book. Or, if you are studying something like Physics of Mathematics, you should just solve a bunch of exercises from a textbook. Most textbooks have plenty of exercises for you to practice. All you have to do is solve them. The book author already prepared all the exercises for you, you don't need to write them, unlike flashcards.
If you are learning a foreign language you should read as much as possible. Reading is the best way to acquire vocabulary. You consult the dictionary for the words necessary to understand the text.
Reading is much more fun, entertaining and engaging than using flashcards. By reading you always see the word in context.
Flashcards on the other hand take the words out of context. It is much harder to memorize and understand them. Flashcards are completely inefficient compared to just reading.
Anki is just another tool to add to your arsenal. Obviously reading books and listening to native speakers are also necessary. It may seem time-consuming at first, but since the time between reviews increases each time, it becomes easier and easier. Eventually you might only need to check 1 card once every year or longer, and still be able to recall the term.
The adding of terms can be more tiresome though, but its a price worth paying for a super efficient way to remember things in the future. If youd prefer you can always just rely on community made decks instead.
Bruh, this dude looks like he's 12
One annoying system, most annoying one I have ever used. I have used several others. Could not uninstall fast enough.
