Note the arrows to the left and the right of the image, those allow you to scroll through whatever images other users have uploaded. They’ve already been put together for you (by the community, by other users). Memrise (usually) has this taken care of for you. You can, by the way, add images and audio recordings to your cards, but you have to do this yourself (you have to hunt down the images and audio recordings and then add them manually). Simple (more detail on Anki here if you’re interested). I’ve got cards that only come up once every 6 months or year even. Anki then calculates, based on your answer, how many times you’ve reviewed it, and how often you get it right, when it’ll show it to you next (this is known as spaced repetition and is an extremely effective memory technique).

…where you’ll tell Anki how well you know it (note buttons at the bottom):Īnd that’s it. It’s simple: you want to make a flashcard, so you tell Anki that and write whatever you want the front and back of the card to be (in this case as an example we have “to be” on the front and “ser” on the back): Please note that you can click the below images to see a larger version. I’ll give you an example: I’m still working on my Spanish but I’m at a fairly advanced level (high B2 / low C1) so I just never use Memrise for Spanish, it’s useless to me for that purpose, but I’m only at about A2 in German right now so I find Memrise to be very useful and effective, as well as enjoyable to use, so therefore I use it almost daily (for German).
#Ankiapp vs ankiweb download#
Yes, you can download other people’s decks and use them via Anki’s website, but Memrise just executes this idea so much better. Anki is just a lot easier to create new cards in, that’s what it was designed for, so that’s what it’s particularly good at.
