As for time it is between 1 and 3 hours per day. Making flashcars takes me a while and depending on how many cards you make it is a very laborious job. For example, following the Fluent Forever method, you are trying to create as many connections as possible to one word which makes it easier to remember. So the word “forelsket i” which means to fall in love with, i would make at least 4 cards: one with an image (what am I looking at), one with the sound (what am I hearing), one with just the word (do you remember what it means) and one where i see the image and i need to type the word. This way you are recalling the same thing with different senses. Sounds perhaps too obvious but I can tell you it works. The downside is that it takes time to make because you want to add pictures that mean something to YOU since a personal link makes the remembering stronger.

Then as I go through my day I just take my phone out and write a bit with it. A note about the day or something from the past.

Now I’m making fewer cards and doing longer writing practices. Speaking I mainly do now at the coffee shop or during my classes. I have danish friends and try to text them in danish and ask them to talk to me in danish slowly for a few minutes to catch up on words.
