    I'll start interleaving my Anki decks from now on! This might be one of the best tips you've given out so far, but I also enjoyed the "Making Connections" video. In general, your "Japanese Tips with Koichi" series will be effective for learners of all levels.

    This is a great talk. It totally makes sense. I often find it overwhelming when I launch Anki, and the first thing I see is a huge list of different Decks, and deciding which one(s) to tackle. Now I've created a "日本語" deck, and threw all of my other decks inside. Now when I launch Anki, I can simply study from the master deck containing everything from Kanji to sentences.
    Thanks a lot Koichi!

    Wow ! Wanikani is exactly like this, perfect . You will to memorize some reading and after it you forget it and wanikani shows other reading and It´l make a strong conection in our brains and when you return to yourselve , you know 3 or 4 reading for the same kanji .. And using a pretty simple way like this ! Thanks Tofugu . こういち (y)

    This is probably going to come off as some extreme shilling, but thank god for WaniKani. I'm way too lazy to do this shit physically or make my own SRS decks.
    I give that shit a 10/10 all day if you're new to Japanese and/or rebooting a previous attempt and have gone rusty.

    Is there a way to do this digitally, I do SRS with Anki but I'm not so sure how I would do this on paper because I have so many cards digitally and I'm worried that I'd make my place cluttered with paper (I'm a student so there's paper everywhere anyway haha).
    Maybe some lists and a random number generator? I dunno. Someone please reply if you can think of a good clean way to do it digitally. Thanks. :)

  • @PeterAStanton

    Interesting, but at 6:26 you said "they're going to go down together", however, when you get one wrong, you'll correct yourself and then when the other one comes up you'll get it right (even though you wouldn't have a minute ago). No?
    I find this happens with Wanikani (and I expect with Anki too, but I don't have as many reviews) and sometimes I burn something perhaps I shouldn't have.

  • @psychoticwater8110

  • @TheKaze1991
    @TheKaze1991 9 лет назад

    probably it's a cool way to learn vocabulary and kanji in one big bowl, but i just imagined how much time it needs to prepare all the cards for radikals, kanji and vocab. i mean not on beginner level but like intermediate or upper-intermediate...

  • @amyelevens
    @amyelevens 9 лет назад

    Thank you for this video it's pretty relevant to things I've been thinking about while studying. I do use the interleaving technique! However, sometimes it feels like I'm cheating when a vocab word will come up with a kanji in it that I know I've seen, and I may know the meaning, but do not remember the reading of, but then later in that review session the kanji itself will come up and I'll get it right because of seeing that vocab word that used it earlier. Like, if I hadn't have seen the vocab word on that day, I would've probably gotten the kanji wrong. Does that make sense? Anyway, I do generally feel like this technique helps a ton.

    • @Tofugu
      @Tofugu  9 лет назад +3

      d I think that's okay - that actually illustrates why this method is actually good. You're making those connections, and it only feels like cheating because it's working so well ;)

      @thorkik 9 лет назад

      Chris vd. Heijden If you are using kanji you can make a deck to put them both under, it's fairly easy. And yes, it will make a difference (at least in my experience)

    i'lll try memrise and other aps.
