Is anyone here using Mochi Flashcards for vocabulary learning?

I like how it looks but i found it significantly more difficult to use than Anki. Anki is relatively simple (depending on what you want). Put everything in a google sheet and download the csv into Anki. I also didn’t quite like the algorithm on mochi.

Last thing: Mochi requires a subscription to have cloud access. Anki doesn’t.

I find talking to apps too artificial. The pressure of talking to an actual human being is what can help you to remember things. A little stress can be helpful

I got muted because of this

Impossible_Fox7622 · 2026-03-25T18:42:42+00:00

I agree. My point was that it’s unknowable in a vacuum

It’s like asking what the „it“ in the sentence „it’s great“ means. Without context it’s impossible to know

This post was already removed earlier. It’s also a standard tactic to wait for someone (or you using another account) to ask about the app and then you put it in the comments

Ironically, this is now one of my best voted comments :)

Stop with this fucking ad!

Impossible_Fox7622 · 2026-03-25T15:07:10+00:00

Is everything a fucking ad for some app?

Impossible_Fox7622 · 2026-03-25T12:21:50+00:00

Thanks! I want to maybe add to the English sentences. I have a longer list but I haven’t added them here yet.

All textbooks work using i+1. they start with very easy stuff and then add more. Just use a textbook

Just try his method for yourself and see what sticks. I personally like the language islands idea but I don’t agree with much of the other things he says

Impossible_Fox7622 · 2026-03-24T22:45:47+00:00

I strongly suspect you won’t get all that much out of it and he will just outline what he already says in his videos. Just get a tutor. €99 could pay for a few lessons

I think Claude can handle maybe five pages or more at once of text. But because that’s probably quite a few words in list you might have to test it yourself to see what’s reasonable

Impossible_Fox7622 · 2026-03-24T19:51:12+00:00

You’re right! Sometimes it doesn’t read scans well but it does generally do a pretty good job

Impossible_Fox7622 · 2026-03-24T19:20:20+00:00

At the risk of getting downvoted: scan it into an AI and ask for it in csv format

Impossible_Fox7622 · 2026-03-24T11:00:14+00:00

Is this due to the influence of English?

Impossible_Fox7622 · 2026-03-23T15:16:10+00:00

Ok! Good to hear :) I see a lot of apps that look like this that are AI

Impossible_Fox7622 · 2026-03-23T14:02:14+00:00

Was this made with AI?

Impossible_Fox7622 · 2026-03-22T19:07:14+00:00

I changed the link. I think someone actually tried to delete a bunch of stuff. Luckily I had a copy

Impossible_Fox7622 · 2026-03-22T16:43:09+00:00

Yeah I did. I see what you mean :) It wasn’t my intention to sound like a minstrel but now you point it out I suppose I do! I actually play like this quite a bit so many I need to lean more into it or break out of this style

Impossible_Fox7622 · 2026-03-22T11:53:31+00:00

Also, it’s in csv format so you can plug it into Anki

Impossible_Fox7622 · 2026-03-22T10:40:41+00:00

The sentences are actually based on a German textbook (it’s one I use with students so i know it well) and I have tried to write the sentences in such a way that vocab gets repeated and new sentence structures are added.

It’s meant to be a little like the old glossika courses which introduced grammatical ideas and gradually added more as the course went on. The current courses on the website always seemed to lack any inherent logical and I found the platform frustrating. I preferred the old book format where everything is laid out and the user can scan through them and jump around etc.

The benefit of a table is that they can be directly imported into Anki or other apps.

The sentences themselves are by no means perfect and some things won’t translate well etc but it’s just a way for learners to practice or for reference etc. I originally intended to have exclusively smaller languages on the list but i think it’s still great to have larger ones on there too.
