How to learn a language with Anki
Start with the most common words
A frequency deck or your course's word list covers the most common words fast. Start with a few new cards a day and add more once the reviews feel easy.
Add the words you meet
Upload the chapter, article or video you're working on, pick your level and download one .apkg deck. Each card keeps the sentence you found the word in, so you learn how it's used, not just what it means.
Review a little every day
A few minutes a day works better than a long session once a week. Anki's scheduler shows each card again just before you'd forget it.
