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.
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.
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.
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 Spanish B2 Vocabulary Anki Deck
All words in the Spanish B2 Vocabulary Anki Deck are used in sentences to help you learn them in context. Each flashcard includes an image, IPA notation, and an audio file.
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 Spanish. This will help you to improve your Spanish comprehension.
Here is an extract, so you can hear what the audio sounds like in the Spanish B2 Vocabulary Anki Deck. The IPA notation has been added too. There is also audio for the words and the plural versions of those words.

There are 2 card types in the Spanish B2 Vocabulary Anki Deck.
Conjugate/Fill in the blank
On the front side, you will find a sentence in both Spanish and English
In the Spanish sentence, the words you need to know are missing and represented as underscores. In the English sentence, the words you need to know are bolded and underlined. You should determine what belongs in place of the underscores.
On the back, you will see the Spanish sentence, the IPA notation of the sentence, the English translation of the sentence, and an audio file of the Spanish sentence.
You will also see just the Spanish word, the IPA notation of the word, the English translation of the word, and an audio file of the Spanish word.
This gives you the opportunity to see and hear the word in a sentence and just by itself.
Please note how “un tren” is colour-coded in blue to indicate its masculine gender. All nouns are colour-coded as bluefor masculine and pinkfor feminine. This will help you remember the gender of nouns more easily.
Type the correct Spanish word
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
