Hello, I am new to this program. Thanks for the help. I am concerned the way I am using this program for initially learning foreign vocabulary may cause mistakes in the algorithm and cause undue repetitions.
I am using an accelerated German literacy text: German for Reading by Sandberg and Wendel (1973). As an accelerated text, there are large demands on quickly learning vocabulary. A chapter is composed of a lesson and exercises, repeated several times. Before beginning the exercises, all vocabulary in the preceding lesson should be memorized. I have been entering the new vocabulary the first time I am seeing these words. That means I am scoring them 0 and 1 for 3-8 repetitions, before scoring them a 2 through 4. Then I am doing the exercises in the text, before coming back and repeating the whole thing over again. I am worried that scoring them a card "0" eight times before I commit it to memory will cause a lot of repetitions in the short term that may not be necessary. When going through a new group of cards...should I use the "cramming" plugin, or use another plugin? Or is the algorithm built for this type of use? Thanks for the assistance. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "mnemosyne-proj-users" group.
