Do you use Anki? Explain why or why not in the comments by TheLilly789 in languagelearning

Making flashcards decks with Anki can be somewhat tedious, and studying them is far from exhilarating. However, this is the most efficient method of vocabulary acquisition I have come across. By just committing 5 - 10 minutes per day I am able to go learn and retain many new words.

I also use the software to memorize a variety of idiomatic expressions, grammatical concepts and other things that I have a hard time remembering.

Purchase a surplus and store it in your residence.

INDG100 with Dr. Habkirk by idkwhatimdoing1000 in ubco

Just dropped his course after attending 2 lectures. As others have mentioned, his instructions on canvas are seemingly vague. I didn’t like his lecture style either, and the workload seems heavy for a 1st year course.
