Do you know how people of your target language do things differently in casual text messages/on the internet?
A good example: russians often drop the double dot from smiling face )))) vs. :)))) or how in some middle-eastern languages they write hhhhhhh instead of the “hahaha”.
Switched my main Anki deck and JPDB cards from just the word on the front, to instead show a sentence as the cue. I think it’s a big improvement.
At first I thought having the sentence would give away what word it is… but I’ve slowly realized that’s the point. Understanding words in context is the reason to learn words in the first place. And having the sentence up front, with no furigana, helps give reading practice on other words.
Good idea. And good point. Vocabulary training is actually more productive if you can associate those words with certain sentences, really helps with memorizing!
