What about for Anki, which has only 4? Cut 5 and 2 on the list above, maybe?

It should be noted that Mnemosyne counts ‘2’ as a “correct” grade, and will schedule the card for a day or two in the future. So if you’re using Mnemosyne, ‘1’ would be a better grade for a card that you got slightly wrong.

I got a question I am still learning Kanji but I have been putting it into my SRS using copy paste. What program do I need to download in order to type Japanese Characters. I am on Windows XP.

IMO, what helps is if you don’t see it as numbers, but you see them as grades. So in Anki:

4 = A
3 = B
2 = C
1 = D
0 = F

[…] added input enables Anki to better and more efficiently schedule cards for review. Khatzumoto has a method for scoring himself that’s worked well for me (after adapting the 0-5 system of Mnemosyne to […]

Hey, I know it’s been sorted now, but I’d seen it on both IE6 and IE7. Let’s not go into why I’m using IE in the first place 😐

It seems to be happening with IE (6 in my case), looks fine in Firefox.

In your code, at the end of each of those entries (0-5) is an extra
span style=”text-decoration: underline” /
(I omitted the greater than/less than tags in case it tries parsing them)
Firefox treats them properly since that / should tell it to close the tag immediately… seems IE’s not being so kind.

There’s a missing end function somewhere in this post. Everything from 1. down is underlined… Just so you know 😉

Hey James

>(though you still can pronounce and understand)
No matter how many sentences, if you can pronounce and understand, then you’re good to go.

>Do you think this is too long a sentence to put into mnemosyne?
No, it isn’t. It is on the lengthier side of things, but it’s not out of the question. Some sentences in Japanese get long. What I do is:
1. Enter the full, long sentence in
2. Break the sentence up into logical parts (generally, clauses) and enter *those* parts, too
I find this works best. It’s good to have some long sentences in there because Japanese sentences can get long. But, as far as your brain is concerned, learning and sentence-building happen in small, manageable chunks. So that’s why I enter the parts into the SRS, as well as the whole.

I’m glad you re posted this. I felt that I’ve been going to easy on myself and just grading 5 anything that I could get through eventually and understand the meaning.

Do you think it’s better to do only 15 sentences a day and make sure you have them absolutely drilled rather than doing 30 not so drilled ones? (though you still can pronounce and understand)

I ‘ve also been wondering about the length of the sentences. Some of my senteces are fairly long e.g. 離婚する時家庭裁判所に養育権訴訟を起こす男の人が最近増えてきたそうだ. I understand this sentence but beacuse of it’s length it is difficult to memorize in it’s entirety. Do you think this is too long a sentence to put into mnemosyne?
