Why is it so important to use Anki?

Have you ever studied for an exam and then forgotten everything a few days after the exam? It is a feeling that most of us experience.

In fact, according to Art Kohn Ph.D, a professor at Duke University, within 24 hours most of us forget an average of 70% of new information.

Often this would not be a problem. However, when it comes to language this can become a huge issue. Learning vocabulary and grammar to then forget them later on would be a disaster!

Anki prevents this from happening and ensures that you remember what you study. Let’s take a look at the 3 reasons why Anki is so effective.

1. Active recall

Active recall means that Anki asks you a question and you have to remember the answer. This is more powerful than passive learning and improves your memory.

When you retrieve information from your brain, you strengthen your ability to retain information and create connections in your brain between different concepts.

2. Spaced Repetition

Spaced repetition introduces new concepts in batches to you. A flashcard appears and if you know the answer the flashcard moves to the next batch. This batch will be shown to you at a later time. The more often you answer correctly the later the intervals become.

However, should you answer wrongly, the flashcard moves to the first batch again, and you will see it more often.

This system finds its origins in the spacing effect. The spacing effect illustrates how people learn better if reviews are spread out over time.

3. Ease

Anki takes care of all your scheduling. There’s no need to calculate when you need to practice which cards. Furthermore, Anki is available on both iOS and Android users, so you can download it on your smartphone and use it wherever you are.

Card Structure of the Japanese B2 Vocabulary Anki Deck

All words in the Japanese B2 Vocabulary Anki Deck are used in sentences to help you learn them in context. Each flashcard includes furigana, an image, IPA notation, and an audio file.

Furigana is shown above kanji, so you can read the Japanese sentence even when you do not yet know all the kanji.

The image allows you to create a better memory with the word/concept that you are studying. You are linking a concept with a certain image.

The IPA notation is so you can know exactly how something is pronounced and be able to repeat that pronunciation yourself.

The audio file allows you to understand how something is pronounced in Japanese. This will help you to improve your Japanese comprehension.

Here is an extract, so you can hear what the audio sounds like in the Japanese B2 Vocabulary Anki Deck. The IPA notation has been added too. The flashcards also have audio for the words.

There are 2 card types in the Japanese B2 Vocabulary Anki Deck.

1. Conjugate/Fill in the blank

On the front side, you will find a sentence in both Japanese and English. This is accompanied by an image that shows the context of the sentence. In the Japanese sentence, the word you need to know is missing and represented as a blank. In the English sentence, the word you need to know is bolded and underlined. You should determine what belongs in place of the blank.

On the back, you will see the full Japanese sentence with the target word highlighted in indigo. This is so you can immediately spot the answer. Below that you will find the IPA transcription of the sentence, the English translation, and an audio file of the sentence.

For verbs, the card shows two forms of the word:

• The polite form (ます form, e.g. 食べます) comes first, as this is the form you will actually use in everyday conversation.
• The dictionary form (e.g. 食べる) comes second, as this is the form used in dictionaries and grammar references.

Each form is accompanied by its IPA transcription, English translation, and audio file, so you can hear exactly how each form sounds.

For nouns, adjectives, adverbs, and other word classes, only one form is shown. These words do not have a separate polite/dictionary distinction the way verbs do.

You will also see just the Japanese word, its IPA transcription, its English translation, and an audio file of the word. This allows you to see and hear the word in a sentence and just by itself.

2. Type the correct Japanese word (optional)

This is the same as the first card, however in this one, you have to type the correct word. You will see if you made any errors, or if you were correct.

This helps improve your writing skills in Japanese.
