Last 2 days daily Anki review + reviewing mail writing with new teacher. I'm asking her to point to where issues are, and have to try and correct them myself (as pointed out in one of Olle's blog article about 'teaching your teacher' - thanks for that).

The objective for this challenge is to continue removing leeches from Anki. I also started online classes with a teacher from Taiwan, and have to invest some extra time making sense of the traditional characters, apart from learning new words. It's going to be weekend bursts and quiet weeks as work is quite busy. We'll see.
As for today:
- homework: video interview of auditors life in Taiwan (180)
--> The vocabulary work proper. What I'm actually doing is selecting only a few words and expressions, but for each of them, I make sure that I have a sentence with sound to add to Anki. It takes a longer time to create, but then you can either review quickly or take your time shadowing the sentence.
I've been told of this resource to generate audio quickly: https://ttsmp3.com
Natives tell me it's good for short sentences in general.
- daily Anki character writing + vocab (60)

How do you define LEECHES IN ANKI?

I lowered the threshold to 5 mistakes in the settings (that’s only for writing the character), and get it suspended instead of just tagged.
