I wish i could do my flashcards on my ds
I'm being held hostage by my giant mountain of Anki cards and I'm slowly going insane.
i used to never ever practice writing, but last month i started a diary in my target language and since then, i’ve been writing a little almost every day. i’ve only filled six pages so far, but i’ve become a lot better at grammar, my active vocabulary feels twice as big and i’m much more confident about writing AND speaking now.
i can’t even begin to imagine how good i could be a year from now or even a couple months in the future. it’s really exciting and interesting to see how i’ve developed. i use a normal google docs document, and it helped me out with my grammar in the beginning, but it didn’t take long until i almost became my own spellcheck haha. i can almost always instinctively know what mistakes i have made when i see the blue line appear under a word or a part of the sentence. really interesting progress with way less effort than i thought was needed.
it’s so interesting, how i thought language learning would be like climbing a mountain, when in reality it’s just like climbing a little rock every day. small efforts make great achievements in the end. really happy.

To all the merthur fans out there, this is not the only flashcard in my Moreland and Fleischer Latin vocabulary deck for you
I can (like 98%) consistently recognize all the country flags now thanks to anki, but I feel like my recall is annoyingly one-way? Like I've developed the power to recognize flags easily but I don't actually possess the images in my memory. eg if you show me the flag of Turkmenistan I'll know it's Turkmenistan every single time, but if you just asked me now to describe the flag of Turkmenistan I could say very little. I know it has some stars near the top and a crescent moon below that... that's literally all I can tell you! I'm not even confident about one single colour, like it might have dark green in it I think?
Okay yeah I just looked it up and that whole patterned banner thing on the left is not something I would have remembered in a billion years, even though it's clearly the most visually distinct part of the flag!
I feel like this comes from latching onto single features that make for good visual mnemonics that I know reliably get me the correct answer when the flag comes up on anki, and laser-focusing on that one feature and not feeling incentivized to absorb any more visual data than necessary. Like another one is that I know Gabon's flag is three horizontal stripes and the top one's green, and that's cos my dumb mnemonic there was G = green and it's on top, hence Gabon. But I couldn't even guess what colour the two lower stripes are!
I guess this doesn't REALLY matter at all since describing/reproducing flags without seeing them is a skill that comes up basically never, whereas being able to recognize flags on sight is useful sometimes. It just feels like I don't "really" know the flags even though I have the practical side down I guess.
so duolingo is apparently letting you revive long dead streaks, for free, if you do three lessons. usually you need to spend the gems they offer (both for doing lessons and for cash, of course) for a streak freeze or repair.
which made me think they must not be doing very well, if they're trying to get back people (like me) who left long ago
hmm, would you look at that. gee, i wonder what news might have come out late april of 2025...
anyway, if you want to study a language (or other subjects, like for med school), and want something with a similar spaced repitition and streak tracking like duolingo has, try anki.
