I don't learn a new lang atm but I've heard it works great for that.
There are shared decks [1] and you can create your own very easily. Whenever I stumble over a new fact throughout the day, I (try to) add it to my deck. To test the system, I learned all european countries with capitals and all US states in 4 hours total (spread over weeks, just 1-2 minutes spent every other day). It's really easy and fun.
I use both the desktop and the mobile apps, they keep in sync.

- walterbell 12y agoUnbelievable list of decks & add-ons. Why doesn't someone give Anki $$$$$? This is how humans will compete & interoperate with robots/algos. The format should be at least as important as ePub. I don't see any licensing or copyright terms in the list of shared decks, are those usually specified within each deck?

- eik3_de 12y agoThe deck sharing web app could need some serious polish (if not rewrite as a modern web app). Something like fork/pull requests and diff would be awesome. That would encourage people to contribute back and fix bugs in the decks. I don't know about licensing/copyright of the decks.
