Hi, Forgive me, I imagine for some of you my questions may be rudimentary. I hope it is not intrusive of me to look for some answers here.
I study translation and interpretation and I am very interested in the potential of Mnemosyne but I haven't been able to take full advantage of it thus far. I have been slowly compiling cards in a number of subcategories, all within one single deck, as recommended on the website. The vast majority of these are vocabulary-related, but some have nothing to do with language. At this stage I have 700 cards, 600 of which I do not have memorized yet. At the pace that the program provides, It appears to me I will never work my way through these existing cards, much less the new information I periodically add to the deck. I changed the number of new cards to memorized each day to 10, and then later to 20, but these changes don't appear to be reflected in what the program shows me when I re-boot it (i.e. "planned" cards). When I initially began using the program I was very disciplined and used it every day. But lately my lack of progress in moving through the deck has lowered my motivation. The new vocabulary and other information I add to the deck seems to sink into a black hole that I will never see again. I have attempted to keep going and work on a few dozen cards after finishing off all of the "planned" cards, but I read on the site that trying to memorize large number of cards all at once is not recommended. What should I be doing differently? Are my expectations too high? Ideally I would like to use mnemosyne to work on memorizing thousands of cards, not hundreds - but how to get there from here? Thank you very much for any help, Ch. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "mnemosyne-proj-users" group.
