Flashcards Puns

So many posts r/ medicalschool talk about Anki Flashcards, such as this picture, and it's on YouTube. There are also pictures of coloured squares as a progress bar.

Why is Anki so special, and is it only related to medicine/biology?

Title says it all

EDIT: thank you for all of your amazing responses!! I feel so much better now :)

I recently got into studying through flashcards last year. For me its really effective for retaining information. However, i find it very time consuming. Although I think flashcards are worth it, how you guys manage having to do it for most of your classes?

Edit: I make my flaschards in anki Edit 2: I appreciate everyone’s replies❤️ thanks a lot

Hello there! I'm a new Japanese learner. I have been taking weekly classes for about two months or so with a personal teacher using Italki, things are going good but I have a serious problem when memorising stuff.

Sensei said that my comprehension of grammar is very good and I progress fast enough but that gets shadowed by my poor ability to memorise vocabulary fast enough, and that's true! It required me a while to get all kata in my head (didn't start with Kanji yet) and now that I'm trying to get vocabulary in my head it's even worse. Problem is that I'd never learn that way. I'm used to learn-by-doing/learn-by-practise, so sitting there with the Anki flashcards is just not enough or really really slow for me.

So... is there anything else out there to practise vocabulary? Either constructing sentences, reading or something else. I get that this is a very different language and that I just can't start reading furigana from some videogame or something like that, but I feel like I don't progress much (or anything some days) when using flashcards.

I still practise 150 random kanas everyday so I don't forget with a tablet app, and I try to use Anki everyday as well, but somedays I only review because I forget something I was supposed to know from weeks ago. On the other hands words like "I'm sorry", "How much", "Thanks", "Thank you for the meal", ... I know because I've used it (even if it was temporary), along with some easy ones like "friend", "mother", "phone", etc.

Hello, everyone.

I'm getting back to learning japanese and I have been wondering: should I type the answers or just think/say them out loud?

Not sure if there is any specific benefits for typing it or if it is just personal preference, so I would like to know how you all go on about it.

I made some quizlets that are for memorizing/ practicing the basic Hiragana and Katakana for beginners, I will link them below if you would like to use them to study/ practice:

Basic Hiragana Quizlet

Basic Katakana Quizlet

Hiragana Variants Quizlet

Katakana Variants Quizlet

I hope this is okay to post my quizlets, I just want to help fellow beginner learners. If I missed a rule or it is not okay I will delete immediately. These are just the quizlets I use to study right now and just want to help others not advertise myself or anything.

Also if people like this I will definitely share other Quizlets I make here. For example I might be making one for compounds, greetings in Japanese, and other stuff like that.

Just let me know if anyone would like that.

EDIT:　ごめんあさい。The 'variants' are NOT Hentaigana as it says in the title and previously said in the descriptions, I misunderstood what Hentaigana was and mislabeled them. I don't believe I can edit the title, but I will correct what I can.

(Repost as, the first time, this didn't really take off.)

Sitting the OCR Physics A A Level in June (responses pertaining to different exam boards are welcome).

I've formulated a study plan which consists of written notes for each module (guided by one of the OCR-endorsed textbooks, and other resources), flashcards (using Anki), followed by (most importantly) past paper questions.

Since physics differs from other subjects at this level (such as maths), in that it is necessary to learn and grasp the theory before mastering exam technique, I figured working on the notes and flashcards beforehand would be helpful, particularly as it's generally advised to write down different concepts in one's own words to facilitate linking them together more clearly and succinctly (also, it benefits recall).

However, some have said mind maps/notes are quite useless for physics and don't actually offer an advantage relative to simply reading the textbook and memorising the content. I've also heard it can be challenging to pare down the information in the books, as science textbooks actually tend to be quite concise and is, in some cases, almost impossible to condense further. (I would like to know how those who wrote notes of their own overcame this.)

Moreover, although flashcards are mostly very popular for A Level sciences, a couple of people have argued that physics is more centred on application and therefore flashcards for rote-learning information are a waste of time. I personally don't think I agree, but would be interested in hearing other opinions.

Nonetheless if that were true, then we'd be left with only textbooks and past papers as our only meaningful resources for revision. I don't see how that would be very effective with the knowledge gaps that usually arise without clear and consistent repetition of key facts and concepts (prerequisites for the papers), but I suppose I could be missing something.

I'm also bearing in mind that, as it stands, there are over 100 topic papers on PMT (101 for OCR A, as per my last count), and considering each of them takes around 45 minutes to complete, it looks like it'll be very strenuous for me to work through all of them, even just once, before the summer (not to mention the full papers and specimens for the new spec). Yet I hear of other students having sat every paper more than 3 times? I've only done a couple up to this point... unless most have been doing these quite diligently since Y12, which I find difficult to b

just wanted to say that i’m finding a lot of success in just making flashcards the old school way — i’m learning a lot of vocabulary pretty quickly! and i’m getting writing practice too :)

might be worth trying! currently i’ve been trying to make sets of related words—i’ve got a groceries set and a occupation set right now. i’ve been referencing a few sites, but the 90 day korean website has a good amount of vocabulary lists on it to pull from.

I think learning abilities and cooldowns is one of the best ways to improve at League. With over 625 abilities across 157 champions, I realized I needed to do more than "just play" to actually learn everything fast.

After making my own spreadsheets and using flashcard software, I found the process getting really tedious and inefficient. So I made this website so now everyone can benefit.

You can also use this website as a simple way to look up your opponents abilities and cooldowns while you're in queue.

If you use the flashcard mode (just click on any role) for even 5 minutes, you'll already start to see improvements. I know a lot of people will probably go on the site for about 1 min and then leave, but this method really works. Flashcards really do work.

So the next time you have downtime or you're in a learning mood, actually try to use the flashcard mode for 5-10min or more and you'll start to see big improvements in your game. And if you already know the abilities, you can start to learn the cooldowns.

*** Should work on mobile devices now! ***

Has anyone got the geeky medics OSCE Flashcards?

Are they any good for finals?

I started learning Russian less than 2 weeks ago. I'm using mainly Pimsleur (up to lesson 20 so far), with AnkiDroid for flashcards and google translate to practice writing.

I started off by writing just the pronunciation using the latin alphabet on my flashcards. After a while I started writing the russian spelling in the cyrillic alphabet too, mainly to practice and learn alphabet. So I'd just have both side-by-side.

But now I'm wondering, should I delete the latin alphabet writing of each word and phrase? And have only the cyrillic one, to train my eye or whatever? Or is it too early to do that, and I can keep writing both side-by-side?

I don't want to be dependend on the location of my pc or the battery status of my phone, plus I walk up and down my room while learning them xd

Hi there, I have some questions regard flashcards. I am planning on buying one to play DS games on my new3dsxl. Right now i am eying the R4i-SDHC 3DS RTS R4 card from www.r4i-sdhc.com. So here are my questions:

1. Is this card compatible for all DS games and rom hacks?
2. Does it has a timebomb?
3. Is there a limit to how large of a SD card that I can put in it?
4. Would this flashcard be a better option rather than just using the twilight menu in the 3ds itself?
5. Is it only able to be used if I mod my 3ds?

Thanks for reading and answering in advance.

So, I've just made this list of flashcards on Quizlet with the 900 most common words in French. The reason why it's made of 900 instead of 1000 is that I got this list based on a website where many words were repeated, so I had to delete them.

Hope you enjoy :)

I have made a flashcard website that focuses on the vocabulary used within Duolingo. This tool allows you to combine multiple lessons from a Duolingo course into a flashcard deck. I really like Duolingo but it does not give me the option to study lessons via flashcards in rapid fashion. I learn best from repetition so this method works well for me. It is also nice to revisit the vocabulary from lessons that I had previously finished. I originally made this tool for my own use, but I figured it might be helpful for others.

Link: http://bluemoose.info/language_flashcard_app/

Currently the tool only has four languages: German, Spanish, French, and Italian.

One downside is that the tool is very strict. The cards were built from the Tinycards website before the site was shutdown (https://forum.duolingo.com/comment/39200018). There is only one correct answer for each card, unlike within the Duolingo app where they give you some leeway with accepting some responses. I would prefer to have the tool work like that as well, but unfortunately that data is not available to me.

This works on both desktop and mobile.

Any feedback is much appreciated!

Can anyone recommend a set of flashcards? Paid or free doesn't matter. Have a link?

I am not a native English speaker. When I read English books, preferably EPUB in iBooks, there are some words which I don't know. I use "lookup" in my iPad to get its meaning. But I want some kind of program or extension for iBook. When I look up an unknown word, it should automatically create a flashcard that I can learn later.

Concept should be same to Chrome extension called "Rememberry".

tldr: flashcards and grammar app for Duolingo called DuoCompanion. It is only available on the playstore for now: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ziadnosman.DuoCompanion_ziadovosman

Hi all,

I have been working for a couple of months on an app, and I think I am finally ready to share it with the world. The idea for the app came about when I decided to learn Norwegian on Duolingo in an effort to escape my 3rd world country. Quite early on I felt that, while Duolingo is an amazing resource, it can be a bit tiresome to keep on top of all the words with just the lessons. I decided to make my app to help myself (and others) review the words they learn on Duolingo in a targeted and fast way. You can also practice writing the words, listening to them and seeing them in sentences to get used to them. I also added a feature called dictionary, where you can translate a word from any language to any language (as long as the language combination is taught on Duolingo and the word is in their dictionary). The app is 100% free as I do not believe education should be monetized when possible, and I also feel for people with similar backgrounds as mine who cannot afford to pay. the app has just released on the play store, I look forward to hearing your feedback!

p.s: this is the first release and I haven't gotten any feedback on bugs yet, so please tell me if you find any and I will be sure to get on top of it.

This happened to me today, and dozens of times before. I meet somebody who is studying Chinese and ask them what they are studying. They tell me that they are practicing learning characters and listening, but not speaking and don't care to learn how to write. I push a little bit to ask why they are not learning to write, since being able to write in your target language seems like part of the path toward fluency by any definition that includes literacy. They go on to tell me that writing these days is useless, and that they don't have enough time. I asked them how they spend their time studying, and they reveal to me that they spend upwards of 30 minutes a day on Anki or similar programs.

This is broken. This is not studying language, this is studying flashcards, and practicing rote memorization because it gives a false sense of progress. Unfortunately when people hear this they usually tend to just dig in, flashcards work for them or so they think, the gameification provided by flashcards outweighs the fact that they may not really be making much progress in terms of fluency and the ability to use the language.

Flash cards have a place, but they are a supplement. A good plan of study should involve a lot of listening and speaking up front, with reading and writing not lagging too far behind. People should not be spending more time on their flashcards than they spend studying any of the other individual components of language learning: speaking, listening, reading, writing.

Anyway that's my hottake for the day :)

tl;dr; - https://limbiks.com - Automated Flashcard Generator

Hi all!

My wife is a third year medical student and I posted here a few months ago to get some initial feedback for a website I started called Limbiks. After witnessing the painful process of flashcard creation, I wanted to build something that would generate flashcards with as little work as possible.

The initial feedback for the site was awesome and it motivated me to keep working towards the far fetched dream of an entire platform that generates study materials from anything and everything. I have implemented the first wave of improvements / new features. I am really excited to see it getting closer to potentially being something really cool and I want to follow up to make sure I am still trending in the right direction.

Please try it out and let me know what you think!

I accidentally said, '오랜만이에요' today instead of ' 오랜만에' and my korean friend didnt understand me. I was so embarrassed. Does '오랜만이에요' mean anything? I learned from my koreanclass101 flashcards that it meant 'Long time no see'. Is this flashcard correct?

Hi everyone, I'm new here, and a beginner at Japanese. I would love some advice on the convenience and usefulness of using kanji flashcards to improve my kanji knowledge, and on which ones are better.

I'm trying the route of self-studying without the help of a teacher, so I don't know if kanji flashcards are a resource that every student uses normally or if they are just something fancy to make kanji practice easier. I especially wanted to find of some good ones to learn the stroke order for the different kanji, as I want to be able to remember and write them by hand instead of only recognizing them.

My intention was to try the flashcards by White Rabbit Press, since most reviews said they are the best ones out there, but apparently they have been out of print for quite a while and I suspect they won't be produced again (should I wait?). So... which ones do you use? Do you make your own?

I also found this resource here, which looks quite good, but of course I'd have to print and cut the cards myself:

https://www.reddit.com/r/LearnJapanese/comments/8jezlt/i_made_free_printable_kanji_flashcards_and_open/

Any advice or recommendations would greatly appreciated! Thank you in advance!

I'm really after a time-efficient strategy to revise for the top grades and was wondering if they would be of any help...

Since they're there and very closely mirror the content in freesciencelessons videos, I was thinking if I could directly revise from there instead of having to watch the vids and make my own cards. Thoughts on this??

Heya! This is my first post here, but I recently created two Quizlet flashcard sets for all 101 Survivor perks and all 90 Killer perks (perk icons and names of who they belong to included!) All of the information and perk icons are from the DBD wiki. I originally created it for myself because I can't for the life of me remember most of the perks, and others might be the same way so I thought I'd make a post to advertise it so it can help. :)

Here's the Killer Set, and the Survivor Set. I'll try and keep it current with the patches, but currently it's on the 5.4.0 update.

Let me know if there's anything I should change or add!

(Not sure if I'm flaring the post correctly but let me know if I should change that too.)

Hello everyone,

I just released a flashcard app to learn Korean and Japanese vocabulary called Dyglot Korean. I would appreciate to get feedback of people actually learning the language.

I should be able to generate some codes for those interested to unlock the full version, just reply here and tell me what's your phone operating system.

iOS https://apps.apple.com/us/app/dyglot-korean/id1550301520

Android https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dyglot.dyglotkorean

EDIT: I didn't expect so many people to be interested in my program. I'll do my best to give as much code as possible, but Apple and Google only give me a limited amount and besides, it's time consuming and not very fun to send them one by one to each of you. I will do this later today, processing the messages in chronological order. I cannot guarantee a code for everyone, however.

Love you all,

Benoît

Mon texte d’aujourd’hui est une réponse au streak de u/JefforyMeyer, merci pour le sujet !

Je trouve aussi que les flashcards sont une manière efficace d’apprendre de nouveau vocabulaire. Je n’arrive pas néanmoins à les utiliser que rarement. 😬 Récemment j’ai tâché de reprendre l’habitude d’étudier avec des flashcards. Comme j’avais beaucoup entendu parler d’Anki, j’ai décidé de l’essayer. Selon mon expérience, l’appli est difficile à utiliser même sur l’ordinateur.

Dans le passé, j’ai toujours utilisé Quizlet pour les flashcards et je le recommande. En plus, l’application mobile fonctionne assez bien. C’est facile de créer les flashcards et les options pour les étudier sont nombreuses. Personnellement, j’aime bien les jeux, peut-être parce que j’ai parfois du mal à me concentrer... 😅

Hi, I know it's a long shot and probably nobody will be able to help with this, but I'll try. I recently bought a second-hand set of Japanese Kanji Flashcards, the ones by White Rabbit Press, as I prefer physical cards than online resources to learn kanji. I'm super happy with them so far. The problem is, my Volumes 1 and 2 are from Series 1, while my Volume 3 is from Series 2.

If you're familiar with these flashcards, you'll know I'm missing 27 kanji that would go between my Volumes 2 and 3, and that were released by White Rabbit Press under the name Transitional Set B. But those can't be found anywhere, and like the perfectionist I am, I'm pulling my hair out over my 27 missing kanji. I don't even know which ones they are.

If someone has this little set, or knows where it can be found, could you please help me? I just want to know which ones I'm missing. All I'd need is a pictures of the missing ones so I can try to make my own flashcards for these 27 elusive kanji :(

Please, help!!! Thank you!!

Does anyone have any tips to rewrite digital flashcards into handwritten ones? Is there a way to more easily do it?

She doesn't seem to get the point of flashcards being that you memorise the content by READING the flashcard, and not writing it. I don't like writing at all to be honest, but she gives us chemistry topics to revise every week since the beginning of this year, and although I started making written notes (only because she forced me to), I switched to flashcards a month before cause I realised how effective Anki was for me to memorise OMM quotes (I literally memorised 47).

Now that I'm doing flashcards, she demands written ones and cannot set for digital ones on Anki. When another student gave her EIGHTY-TWO flashcards for 1 unit, she gave him no choice but to rewrite every single one for 2 days after. Honestly, I don't get it. If I don't give her the stupid cards, she of course calls my parents for some reason. Fml.

There are people in my class that have 800 flashcards for the 3 sciences alone which shocks me. Then it’s the past papers people who just do practice questions and revise what they get wrong. I want to know what i should invest my time in to get the best possible grades.

I have been studying Spanish since 2021 started and I feel I've made good progress so far. I'm at the point where I can read a (easy - intermediate) piece of text and understand approximately 90% of the words. I'm at that weird point where I can read text easily but not be able to produce the same words / ideas off the top of my head, which I know the whole "output takes longer" thing.

After reading something, the words I don't know I'll add to a list to study. I don't find flashcards very effective, as I've tried using them to cement the words into long term memory but I still manage to lose them when I try to produce the word whether it's speaking or writing. I've tried writing the words in sentences via different contexts to add meaning to them which helps a bit, but I am open to other methods that people find useful, if anyone doesn't mind sharing them here.

I was thinking about doing for myself some geography flashcards to help memorize capitals, countries but also state capitals, provinces, etc.

I'd like to know what kind of informations would you put on the cards other than the name of the country/state and the capital?

I don't want the cards to be too full but also I'd like them to have "enough" informations (Population? Flag? Currency?).

Thanks for your input!

why does fluorine have greater EA than oxygen? i get that it follows the trend but it's a noble gas so isn't it in the most stable configuration? i wasn't sure if it being more electronegative than oxygen plays a role so any explanation would be greatly appreciated!

edit: fluorine is definitely NOT a halogen so ignore this
