Like if you made them by hand, I guess you could put them in different piles, but that's just a really great feature for every day.

You know, you do 15, 20 minutes of flashcards.

I love to do that.

And it's a, it's a really great habit building and I find it effective for sure for learning vocabulary.

Do you use Anki Andrew?

I think you make a good point with it that it can be so helpful at those beginner stages where you just need to learn those most frequent few thousand words and just get them in there.

There's so much to learn.

It's a mountain of words and it's really helpful to have those flashcard decks.

And then maybe you get that upper intermediate plateau.

A plateau is when you're not making any progress

really or it doesn't feel like you're making progress like when you're a beginner in a language everything is new and you're you're just taking it in and you learn at such a rapid pace but at a certain point it's it's kind of flat the progress flattens out like if you imagine a graph and it doesn't feel like you're learning that much new stuff or that you're progressing and

But once you get past that plateau, and yeah, you're in that situation where you're such an advanced learner that yeah, you just need these niche words that only come up once in a while.

Such a great way to expose yourself to them because they're only going to come up, you know, once a month, once a year in your actual life.

Yeah, really good suggestions, I think, for our listeners, you know, depending on what level you're at.

But even at that intermediate stage, Anki is helpful, but maybe it doesn't need to be such a priority, you know, focusing so much on vocab acquisition at that intermediate stage.

Yeah.

Yeah, that actually, I would like to add to that.

100% agree.

Like, I think you're probably better off spending a little bit of time each day with it, just to have the habit, like maybe 15 minutes.

And that would be great and fine.
