Re: [lojban] Learning basic Lojban vocabulary: one year after

["'Wuzzy' via lojban" <lojban@googlegroups.com>]

Okay, the 7 days have passed, here are the statistics:

= cmavo**** =
BAI and BAI*: 371/382 cards (97%) (+1)
COI and COI*: 54/54 (100%) (0)
KOhA: 45/45 (100%) (0)
PA: 87/91 (95%) (-2)
UI1 and UI*1: 185/190 (97%) (+4)
UI and UI* without UI1 and UI*1: 211/218 (97%) (-2)
tense cmavo: 175/178 (98%) (+1)
mekso cmavo*****: 57/66 (86%) (-1)
other cmavo**: 185/203 (97%) (-13)
all cmavo: 1382/1427 (96%) (-12)

= brivla =
gismu***: 1223/1341 (91%) (-63)

= rafsi =
short rafsi****: 2663/2982 (89%) (-112)

The second bracket shows the difference in cards. Anki reports a huge
drop in gismu and short rafsi.
So it seems I “unlearned” a lot of words. But I don’t think so.

I guess the percentages are not very accurate. I *think* I actually
have memorized a lot of new gismu abd short rafsi.

I once did 2 times a quick run of 500 random gismu or so and finished in
1 hour or so. And I think I failed about 10 to 20 times or so. But I am
not sure, Anki does not provide statistics for “outside of regular
learning plan” sessions. :/

A everything done outside that plan is *not* counted to the
percentages. Only the “regular” cards are counted. So if you mess up in
the “regular” session, your percentage drops, but not in “irregular”
sessions. This does not make much sense to me

Whatever, these extreme sessions in the last 7 days were an exception.
I think from now on, I will do less Anki in the future, maybe only
occassionally and only for rafsi. I want to drop it completely one
day. I guess I can learn and remember the last few remaining words by
just *using* Lojban much better. Anki was okay to get started, but I
think it is not very efficient if you want to learn the last few
percent. I also suspect Anki does not even use a efficient flash
card learning method. For example, a card is considered “done for the
day” if you got it correct only once, even if you got it incorrect 1000
times before on that day. Stupid, right?
Based on my experience, I wouldn’t recommend Anki to new Lojbanists.
