I’m curious to see how most people study chinese with flashcards. I’ve fallen out of the habit due to some personal things but I used to just try and work through HSK levels by grinding for like 1 hour per day, but I’m assuming that’s not how you’re supposed to do it, especially not with SRS 😅

    thank you! my vocab knowledge is absolute shit since i’ve spent most of my 6 months of learning obsessing over pronounciation, trying to learn grammar, and about half of those six months were spent in a depressive/anxious slump. SRS flashcards will help me build up that knowledge, i hope.

      Of course! Sorry to hear you had a rough time in the last 6 months. Pronunciation is good to get right from the beginning so it was probably worth it, or else you’ll encounter words like 出去 and be really lost.

      SRS should help a lot at your level. Once your vocab surpasses the 1200 word/HSK 4/CEFR A2 level that’s when rote methods of vocab memorization alone for learning start to need supplementation with long-form Chinese to be effective. Until then, you basically have to just grind the 1200 most common words into your brain whatever way is most effective for you. That’s where all the apps like Duolingo, SuperChinese, and HelloChinese end their courses for the most part.
