My own personal experience is that the more well-defined a subject area, the more useful a prebuilt deck is. For example, the geography decks uploaded to Mnemosyne have been basically perfect for me, especially with the graphics/maps bundled with them; I've only tweaked them slightly. Vocab decks are often useful. (My own deck for hangul with accompanying pronunciation files would be very useful to any learner.) So I could believe that Mikhail's language decks would be useful as-is. On the other hand, the philosophy and logic decks I've found floating around have been pretty terrible, and the technology decks mediocre at best. -- gwern http://www.gwern.net -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "mnemosyne-proj-users" group.
