OK, back to Anki SRS.
Doing SRS reps for several months, I’ve noticed some patterns with those cards that fail repeatedly. -no sticky in the brainy. For me it usually comes down to these four reasons.
- The card is way too hard because the sentence is too long or has many new patterns or words.
- I don’t see new words or words often enough in multiple contexts.
- The words are hard to pronounce or sound weird to my ears.
- The words or patterns look like other words or patterns.
This is how I solve them.
- Delete the card. Ahh, that feels good. I never have to see that card again.
- Find more sentences with that word in it.
- Use rhinospike.com to get the correct pronunciation then repeat out loud and often.
- Suspend all cards with words that have look the same but have a different meaning. Once the card is nailed down, reintroduce the suspended cards.
