Hello all, I am looking to switch to FSRS. I have a couple of concerns.

1. I’ve been adding about 30 cards a day every day for about 80 days (my deck is now at 2400 cards, all forward facing cards, 40% mature). I am worried that because a lot of my cards have been added recently, the switch to FSRS may have some sort of adverse affect, does anyone have any opinion on this?

2. I’m guilty of occasionally misusing the “hard” button, but usually am honest. How serious will this impact my FSRS. I saw on the mega thread this can be circumvented by either removing all data (I don’t want to waste all data) or by adjusting precious “hard” to “again” (also not optimal since I don’t usually misuse it). Any thoughts on this? I’m not sure how the card history “pre FSRS” will impact my algorithm.

Context for my usage:
Learning Chinese
Average 300 reviews a day
Mature retention rate: ~90%
Young retention rate: ~83%
Median interval: 16 days
Median ease: 175%

Thanks for your time

Hello all,

I’m currently at a level where I have studied (via textbook/online resources) about halfway through B2 grammar.

My vocabulary is high B1 level (a gut check).

I have the opportunity to take a bunch of 1-on-1 classes, but in not really sure the best way to use them?

Should I be just having guided conversations?
Should I be listening to recordings and having them help me understand?
Should I still be trying to take a grammar rule, and specifically practice using it in the class?

These are all just some ideas I have, I know this part of language learning is where you start transitioning, I just want to ask if anyone has any specific techniques/class structures that helped them with the transition?

Thanks!

TL;DR I have private lessons that are customizable. As I move past textbooks, what are some tips on how to optimally use these classes?

EDIT: thanks everyone for the input, it seems there’s a common theme on focusing on guided output with corrections (as well as allowing a bit of time for questions I have outside of class)

My specific question is:
How was Deng Xiaoping able to convince the Chinese government to change the economy into a “strongly government government controlled mixed economy” that still allows a lot of “free markets” (this is my understanding of the current Chinese economy)

From what I understand the Chinese revolution (Mao’s not Chiang’s) was largely built on the idea of co-operatives and a communist economy. Would that not mean that a lot of the high ranking officials shared this belief?

Sorry if my question is ignorant or obvious, I only recently became interested in Chinese history.

Pretty much the title. I’m a very statistics curious person. Is there an add-on that just provides an INSANE amount of data for anki? (I don’t even care if it’s useful data, I just want to look at it)

Not including flight in and out of China, 9 full days:

3 days Guilin
3 days Hangzhou
3 days Shanghai

Thoughts?

Note: Guilin and Shanghai are MUSTS, but time can be adjusted.

Getting some mixed answers on the difference between these two (and 青少年). I believe one is older than the other, but I’m not sure which. Any thoughts?

I just found this audio book, but the e book is about 50 dollars and I just can’t swing that (I know, I’m broke).

Does anyone have any recommendations for other potential stories? Here are the criteria I’m looking for:

- LONG with increasing difficulty as the story goes on
- Has an audio format and written format readily available (I’m working on listening and reinforcing it after by reading)
- Cheap/Free

I’m really interested in journey of the west, so that seemed like a good start, but the ebook is a tad bit too expensive.

Is there any research/literature that looks into why it is some cards are leech cards?

I mostly use anki for language learning so, anecdotally, it doesn’t seem to matter what type of the card is, how I encountered the word, or anything else I can think of.

It just happens for some random cards. Sometimes if I go back and really review it it’ll start to stick, and sometimes I just have to forget about it and one day it “clicks”.

This is just my experience but I was curious if there was any info on this out there?
