I'm also studying Russian. Are you using the Fluent Forever app along with the book? How are you storing your anki cards (anki app or something else).

- scottlocklin 7y agoWhat I'd really like isn't "I am studying Y using X" -I'd like "I am fluent to level Z in Y from using X." I've used some spaced repetition/Anki stuff to put an initial dent in Portuguese. Compared to learning French the old fashioned way of practice with humans and repetition; it's a huge basket of fail for me. Virtually no useful results. Stopped with Anki, moved to Portugal; zero lessons, but making some attempts with the locals with a shitty phrasebook and dictionary -I actually got decent results. Maybe you can call that "spaced repetition." In which case everything is spaced repetition. I believe people can remember lots of facts via flashcards, as I've done this myself in the past. I'm not so sure it works on languages.
- DeusExMachina 7y agoI am just following the book and using Anki as he describes, creating cards with images from Google and sound files from Forvo. The only advice that I find a bit rushed is to read books with the audio after you learn the top 1.000 words and half of your grammar book. That's still too hard for me. But I can listen to this Russian-only podcast and undertand almost everything: https://russianpodcast.eu https://russianpodcast.eu
