Totally open to discussion, these are just my initial thoughts, so feel free to rebut. For those who are only a verb or two into the deck and are interested in updating now or in the future, I recommend deleting the deck, downloading the new version and starting over.

On the other hand, I now included a UUID which guarantees that in the future you'll be able to update the deck seamlessly. I apologize in advance to those who downloaded the first week: the updating is destructive, in the sense that since there are changes to the front of the cards, the updated cards will look like new cards.

So I'm open to it but the problem of special cases is a lot of work and I want to throw this your way first.Īlso FYI I've updated the deck with more idioms and a handy link to the description you referred to. Just imagine the problem of making prompts that make sense with 72 verbs, it's pretty hairy, and I've had to make a number of exceptions, e.g.

At some stage I had added de repente to the perfecto prompt as you suggest, but that didn't dance well with a number of verbs. This link is to reverso, where the translations are not perfect but that will give you an idea.īeyond that, I am totally open to reconsidering the prompts. So my guess is that you haven't yet fully acquired the meaning of that Spanish locution, are you open to that idea? As a start I'd suggest you review examples of phrases with por aquel entonces. In contrast, en aquel momento pins down the time frame to a 'moment', which can be a long moment, but is the domain of the perfecto. Mm, you said the prompt for the imperfect is Por aquel momento, but it's Por aquel entonces, which means something like 'In those days', which makes sense for the imperfect: in those days, often, you used to play the guitar. Hi there, thank you for sharing your thoughts. If there's a better way to submit feedback, let me know. Another bonus of this method is that the temporal markers are accurate for the preterite and imperfect in this case, which I think can indirectly help with one actual usage of the preterite and imperfect. They're shorter and quicker, and you don't really need to try to parse the whole sentence for recall purposes. I think that these trigger phrases would be better differentiated in the set of trigger phrases in the deck for a verb tense. I think that changing the sentences might help with this: I'm trying to get my recall time as low as possible (as you can't really wait fifteen seconds or so for the right conjugation to come to mind). If I speak the sentence out loud it's a little better, but the imperfect is kind of long and it's still similar to the preterite, so I still have a weird 'what is going on'moment where I'm drawing a blank because of the trigger sentence. If I read the sentence without speaking it, I feel like I 'get stuck', like I'm trying to branch and the trigger sentences are similar. Granted, I'm still trying to find the best way to get these down. (It looks like this is different in your screenshots on the site.)įor some reason, I find this tripping me up. One thing that I find myself running into is parsing the sentences - specifically, the imperfect and the preterite.

(I see that you've updated the manual with an Anki description field, which is great.) Hey - I don't know if you're actively watching this thread, but I thought I'd give a little update after a week. Hope others get as much use from it as it has given me pleasure making it. Use in the wild: some idioms, proverbs, quotes Notes about regular spelling changes, such as c → quĮxplanations about what makes each irregular form irregular Like the other decks, this one prompts forĭuh, right? Makes all the difference, much easier for the brain to process. To give you a basic example, instead of prompting forīelieve third person of the plural future Finally got around to doing it, uploading it to AnkiWeb and writing a page to explain how it works: Spanish Conjugation Flashcards manual. Although it's too late for me to follow that approach for Spanish, I've been wanting to share something like that.

It's a state-of-the-art deck driven by thousands of like of Python code and I hope some of you will find it useful.įor Italian, the idea of learning conjugation first (all tenses, all irregular forms) worked great to me. The deck is inspired by my earlier Ultimate Italian Conjugation deck but goes much further.
