Why #Anki kinda stinks for language learning. I don't know the content maker well at all, but his list is everything I found frustrating and ineffective about the app/program. It really derailed my novice Spanish studies. I don't recommend it anymore, _especially_ to folks with #adhd issues. He's inspiring me to get back to my old notebook methods, and I want to check out his routines further as well.

@hollie interesting. I'm currently feeling a lot of benefit using #anki for learning French. I'm only really using it for nouns currently though

@Letterstomychildren For me there was benefit at the start, but the benefits went down rapidly as the complexity of the language learning improved. That was just my experience though, I know that some folks have felt it was great for them all the way through. If you think it's helping, then it is! :) I think for me it wasn't helping and I was banging my head against it rather than just articulate the problem to myself, and it was helpful to have this guy articulate the problem.

@hollie yes I can imagine this will be the case. Still very early in language learning with it but can see how it won't be a great help for much complexity. This seems to be the same for most learning with #anki, as the answers always seem to need to be fairly simple
