The week was exhausting.... Because I tried my hardest to use my target language and it takes a lot of effort. But the week has been full of positive encounters and it went ok!

You all have had a good langlearning week, I hope?

Hmmm, I need to raise my daily routine to 10 new words/day minimum again. I've realized that my classes are adding about +60 words per week. 5 new words/day (10 anki cards per day or 35 new words/week) just isn't fast enough to keep up with my classes... and I actually have ambitions to do "better than my classes". (I have pronouns to learn/drill, numbers, new songs, etc. etc.)

I've also begun to put some grammar into Anki flash-cards. "Everything" can seemingly become a good flash card with enough creativity and though (not necessarily a reversible card, but at least a "one-way basic" card). When Anki is my tool, everything I'm learning seems to be a "flash card" I can organize with Anki...

Anki's true superpower really is hand-crafting your own cards that work for you. Only YOU know what songs you're listening to, what books you're reading. Your vocabulary (and grammar) Anki cards really need to be created and customized to your daily life and routine.
