repetition schedule controle and tables

[Pal]

Hi, Peter. I found the Mnemosyne a very good SRS soft, but had to refuse from applying it later unfortunately. The reason is I developed a way to learn Chinese characters in advance with no connection to words and the context, as an alphabet. To do that special fleshcards are used. Two problems arose. First, I had to controle myself the repetition intervals, but Mnemosyne didn't allow that. I wasn't even sure that when I chose the grade 2 the fleshcard would always appear on the next day, some appear later, on the third and even the fourth day. That didn't match my algorithm. I needed to know exactly how soon the card appear if I select a certain grade. Second, the reverse of my fleshcards is a table 3X3 plus some space below for a phrase. Of course, I could use just images, but it would overload the computer memory. It would be different if I could make a table right in the reverse window. So, now I have to keep thousands of cards in different plastic bags according to the level I've learnt them. Is it possible to do ajustments to Mnemosyne to solve these two problems?

Hi,

There is some built-in randomness in the algorithm, so selecting a
certain grade will result in slightly different intervals each time.
Don't feel like you need to control the intervals, though (See: "I'm
worried I'm getting it wrong" in
https://mnemosyne-proj.org/help/getting-started.php).

Mnemosyne accepts full html for your cards, so you can create a table
that way if you want. (https://www.w3schools.com/html/html_tables.asp)

Cheers,

Peter

Hi, I am also learning chinese atm.Can you explain what you mean by that: "The reason is I developed a way to learn Chinese characters in advance with no connection to words and the context, as an alphabet."

For chacaters I use "front: character; back: pinyin/translation" cards and dont see a problem with it.

Thank you, Peter. I'll try it.

Hi, my goal is to learn 4,500 most used characters in advance so that I see few unknown characters in a new average text. I beleive that characters are the main handicap that makes learning Chinese much slower than majority of alphabet languages. Learning 4,500 characters in advance by traditional means would take years, while in my approach it can be done in a year or even quicker. Please, see the description of my system here
