I've tried Anki, Quizlet, even just reading more, but I alwars struggle with retention. Even if I try to incorporate spaced repetition (which is logistically hard but that's another issue), things seem to slip away.
Wondering if anyone has cracked this. If there's a system that you've implemented to build from the ground up, please share!
Flashcards and simple word lists have not worked for me - they just don't seem to stick in my memory after a couple weeks, and they don't translate well to the real world. I want to understand why these methods don't seem to stick, and I want to talk to some people in the same boat.
If you've ever felt like your memory evaporated after studying words, please share your experience. What did you do to counteract it? What systems did you build/adapt to increase your retention?
I've been struggling with flashcards and word lists for a while, they just don't seem to stick in my memory after a couple weeks. So I decided to research why these methods don't seem to stick, and I want to talk to some people in the same boat.
