@lukbe: Thanks for stopping by. To be honest, I don't really worry about it. If an
English word has multiple definitions in my word list, I concatenate them in the Swedish side of the card: ENG: dermatologist SWE: dermatolog, hudläkare If a synonym is not in my word list, it doesn't get learned. Such is the way of things - luckily I'm not a perfectionist in this regard. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

You may have answered this earlier in the thread, however, how are you quizzing yourself
on the previous words? Just going back through the whole list every day? 1 person has voted this message useful | |

It seems subconsciously I'm thinking of two-way cards, and that's how I didn't think of this. I mean, that's just what I do for the L2->L1 direction, just list synonyms.
I should reflect on this a little bit. I mean I can't do the same thing as you, with so many words, as I don't have any source for this (for Cantonese), and because I don't think I could have the willpower to go through hours of daily Anki reviews. Also I can't link the words to any language I know, so I must definitely learn more slowly. However, I'm thinking about creating such a deck according to my interests, with priority given to the words I know I may want to say, as well as with some of the words I may grab from radio and tv shows. Thanks, and keep up the good work! 1 person has voted this message useful | |

@Bbcatcher 08: I'm using a program called Anki, which is spaced repetition software.
They have a desktop version, which I use to enter the cards, an Android version, which I use to do my learning/reviewing, and a web version, which helps to sync them all together. When you answer a card in Anki, the program will schedule that card to be seen again, at longer and longer intervals between. So, if I see a card, and get it right, it will show me again in 4 days, then if I get it right in 4 days time, it will show me again in 8 days, etc. This way, I don't have to go over the list of words every day, which would be a monumental (and unnecessary) task.
