SRS deck<\/strong>.<\/p>\nThis information can be ANYTHING. A single word you want to remember the spelling or grammar of, an entire sentence, someone’s birthday, anything!<\/p>\n
Once your question is written, you need to write the “answer” on the back. Your answer will vary depending on what you are learning.<\/p>\n
For example, if you want to remember the spelling or meaning to a specific word, your question side of the card might say something like “\u5375” and the answer side would say, “egg”. This card would help you learn both the definition and spelling of the word egg.<\/p>\n
If you want to remember a grammar point, your question side should contain the grammar point in Japanese and the answer side should have the sentence or grammar point in English. For a simple example, if you wanted to learn how to use the past tense of “buy” your question side might say “\u81ea\u8ee2\u8eca\u3092\u8cb7\u3044\u307e\u3057\u305f.” and your answer side would say something like, “I bought a bike.”<\/p>\n
NOTE:<\/strong> You should only input English into your SRS<\/strong> that you are 100% sure is correct! Anything you put in your SRS<\/strong> will stay in your brain, so you do not want to fill it with anything incorrect. That is why I recommend only using sentences you find on English websites or English textbooks (or your Fruitful English teacher’s comments!).<\/em><\/p>\nOnce you’ve input a few cards, you are ready to study!\u00a0This is where the real magic of an SRS<\/strong> comes in.\u00a0All you need to have prepared is your SRS<\/strong> on your smart phone, PC, or tablet, and a piece of paper and a writing utensil.<\/p>\n\u2462 Then just push study!<\/p>\n
Once you see the first question, you will then have to write the answer to that question on your paper without looking at it. Once you have written the answer or taken your best guess, hit the “show answer” button.<\/p>\n
If you got it correct, awesome! Hit the “easy” button. That will ensure you don’t see that same card until many days later. If you had a little trouble, click “Difficult”, “Normal” or “One more time” accordingly. Depending on what button you click, the SRS<\/strong> will show you that card according to how difficult you found the question. If you got it wrong, it will show it to you in less than 10 minutes, if you clicked “normal” it will be in a few days, and so on.<\/p>\nKeep this process up for all of the cards you made, and you are done!…. until the next day that is.<\/p>\n
