Anki vs. paper flashcards for learning English — what do you recommend?
Hi, I’m a sixth-year medical student. Right now, I need to study English, Anatomy, and Internal Medicine/Therapy. For now, I got a summer job so that I wouldn’t just spend my free time doing nothing. Because of that, at the moment, I can only find time for English.
I saw a post recommending some useful apps, and Anki was one of them. I had used Anki a little before, but then I stopped. Right now, I’m using paper flashcards to study English. I’m avoiding Anki because I’m worried that if I use it on my phone, I’ll end up opening other apps and wasting time instead of studying.
I’m also not sure what the best intervals for reviewing flashcards are. For now, I’m following a 1–3–7–14 day schedule.
What would you recommend in my situation?
And if you don’t mind me asking, how did you personally use Anki?
