move to the next card. If you were wrong click “AGAIN” to return the card to the filtered deck
and you will see it again during this study. The first time you hit GOOD it will set a review time of
10 minutes. The next time you hit GOOD without hitting AGAIN, it will set a review time of 1 day.
Second, when finished with Recognition do the same thing with Recall, except this time you will
be typing the answers. Just input the answer (using your Chinese keyboard and pinyin), hit
ENTER, and if you were right the answer will be highlighted GREEN. If so, just hit spacebar to
move on, if wrong hit AGAIN to see it again during this study.
If you have Handwriting set up move to that filtered deck and do the study.
When you are finished with these three filtered decks you are done for today.
Hitting REBUILD over and over and over is going to do nothing more because there are
only 8 things in Lesson1 and you just studied them. They have all been marked with a
DUE date and returned to the original deck. DO NOT GET FRUSTRATED thinking
something is broken. IT IS NOT.
Relax, you did your thing for today, you studied Lesson 1. Nothing more is going to happen until
tomorrow. (Unless you hit EASY for everything, then nothing is going to happen for 4 days!!
Don’t hit EASY.)
NOW IT’S TOMORROW!
Let’s say you got all excited and you did Lesson 2 on Domino Chinese and want to add that
vocabulary to your flashcards. Okay, let’s do that.
Open ANKI, click on the little wheel next to each filtered deck and change OPTIONS from
Lesson1 to Lesson2. You only need to change the 1 to a 2.
Click REBUILD on each deck.
Oh look! It should say you have 13 to study. (Lesson 2 vocab is 13) Go ahead, follow the
same routine as yesterday.
When you are done studying Lesson 2 nothing will happen in these 3 Filtered Decks. The cards
have all been returned to the home deck and clicking REBUILD over and over and over will do
nothing. But, what happened to Lesson1??
Click “Review”
