I've been experiencing the strong urge to provide a brief testimonial about Mnemosyne. In short, I think this program is amazingly useful. It has become the single most useful tool in my French studies. I have been using Mnemosyne for only four months, for about 30 minutes per day, and I now have around 1700 cards -- or 850 words, not counting "vice versas." 70% of my cards are already at grade level 5.
My advice is to pace yourself. I keep adding only enough words to keep the number of scheduled cards for the next day at around 100. Sometimes that means not adding new cards for 1-3 days. Trust me, I really have to restrain myself -- I am just as eager to learn more words as the next person! But I know that at my current speed, I will commit 2500 words per year to long term memory, which seems quite significant. I feel that the "turtle" approach is the way to go, not the "hare" one. If any of the creators of Mnemosyne happen to read this: Thank you for having created such a fantastic, functional program! And to those who have not started using Mnemosyne yet: Begin using it daily, and you'll soon be a fan. Mark my word. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "mnemosyne-proj-users" group.
