Why You Should Study With Active Recall

I use flash cards for learning German! Thanks for the video

I had a lot of success with German without any formal active recall - just reading stuff and looking it up as I went. But I really liked German. I was actively recalling German in my head all the time doing other stuff just because I wanted to. I've tried learning other languages since then and just reading doesn't seem to work so much and I think it's because when I don't have the language in front of me I'm not thinking about it. living in Japan finally got me to try to think in or about Japanese when I wasn't actually studying but I'm learning Korean now and I don't really think about it unless I'm using it at the moment. I think that natural interest in something so that you're actively recalling it without being prompted is even more powerful than any flash card but I can see why people would make active recall flash cards instead of passive flash cards.

I think I have known about flash cards ever since I can remember. What I didn't know about was spaced repetition until I heard about Anki online.

What about Goldlist method video you’ve made? Do you still use it or flashcards?

[@devonrd]

I've currently taken a break from language learning to focus on my studies. For my studies I use both physical flashcards and Anki :)

Way back in the 60's we were given the PQRST method. I used it. It works. It still exists and plenty of info on it if you search PQRST.
