In reply to Rob. Hi Rob! Welcome to the site and glad you find it useful! I started it because I felt so many of these things weren't addressed properly.

I’m thrilled to find your website! I wish I had known about it sooner. You pinpoint many of the issues I’ve had with classes, self study, Anki, etc. that I felt too busy to address. Thank you for sharing what you learned about learning Chinese as an adult.

In reply to Larry Lynch. Yes, I thought I had mentioned that everything I do is divinely inspired? :) Except my spelling, obviously. Fixed, thanks for letting me know!

Adding too many words is one of the few drawbacks of SRS. It is all too easy to just hit the little “+” (at least in Pleco) to every foreign word you come across. When you make paper flashcards you don’t want to go through that much hassle so you naturally pick the ones you think are most useful.

Olle, you say to learn words from different angels – does that mean a direct path to the Almighty? ?

Just being silly. Thanks again for your great articles!
