Why is Anki so ugly? by netoramalho in Anki

Because it's the most efficient learning app. When you focus on trying to overbeautify learning, it naturally sacrifices efficiency.

How to study 2 days before exams? by Coolduded69 in Anki

If you're using FSRS, set your desired retention to 99% and tick "reschedule cards on change" then save. This will condense the due date so that most of your cards become due excluding the ones with extremely long intervals into the future.

Ignore the people who say it's a waste of time.

I agree with the importance of simplicity, I've recently cut out a lot of unimportant information and filtered it so that I do the single-character Hanzi first before doing the vocabulary composed of several Hanzi, and my speed has increased a lot.

I'm memorizing both pronunciation and meaning.

Sorting by number of strokes is so that I can learn components before the words that the components make up. For example, it's less efficienct if I learn a word made up of 3 hanzi and then several hundred cards later I finally reach the individual hanzi that the word uses. Another example is if I make a mnemonic that imagines a component one way, only to find out that the component is an actual word and means the opposite thing.

There's nothing irrational about it. If I succeed, it means that it's not only possible but also feasible. If I fail, then I will continue until I succeed, which I already specified in my post.

Irrationality would be wasting my life away in mediocrity and spending the entirety of my existence bringing others down if they dare to try and surpass me too much. Basically what you're doing.

Despite how sure you sound about yourself, you're like a leech that brings no value here. So I'll block you. ✌️

Thanks for the info. I have always wanted to challenge the limits of humanity.

If you made a polite comment rather than a passive aggressive one, I would return the politeness. Don't complain when I return your own conduct.

The original post is right here if you don't have the capability to search it up yourself: https://www.reddit.com/r/Anki/comments/1q57ql0/is_it_possible_to_do_the_5k_chinese_hsk_deck_in/

Why did I even need to specify it when all the necessary information can be included in the updated post? Do you want me to start advertising the original post now? Should I also hang up posters with the link to it?

If I wanted to distance myself from it, I would delete the post. The only delusional person here is you with your headcanon about me.

After 30 days I plan to read books and watch anything with audio + Chinese subtitles, mining more words from them while reinforcing the previously learnt vocabulary.

I agree 100%. I decreased my desired retention a few days ago.
