Hi Juan, I'm curious, what words/deck are you studying and how does it work out for you? Best, Andreas

Hi, Andreas. Currently, I'm adding new words from a book I'm reading (Harry Potter in Chinese), from a Chinese drama I'm watching (Detective L), and from my weekly conversational lessons. I create custom decks for each of them to keep everything organized, and on a normal day (not during a vocab challenge), I might learn 5-7 new words per day. In addition to learning new vocab, I also review all my due cards every day. However, recently, because I'd been learning many new words for the challenge, my queue was getting a little bit out of control, so I had to cut back on learning new words a bit. How about you? What decks are you learning from?

Hi Juan, that sounds both fun and interesting! Especially the drama, I bookmarked it to watch it sometime in the future. I just started learning Chinese 3 months ago, so I'm still a beginner. I'm following the Integrated Chinese series, but I also have two lessons with tutors per week. After noticing that I can take much more from the lessons with stronger vocab, I decided to simply learn all the words from IC 1 -- 4 first before reading the books themselves. It works quite well so far, I'm almost done. My decks are the shared Anki decks from Triceraptos.

Good Luck for your further studies, and a great 2022 :)

Oh, nice. I never tried the Integrated Chinese series, but I've heard they're quite good. Thanks for the wishes, hope you have a great new year, and reach all your learning goals!
