Hey Corinna! I only just came across this... Very nice work! It's funny how we started and finished at around the same times... but you had a disadvantage: I copied the example sentence on to the FRONT of every card so I could see "die Luft" and "Die Bollen fleuger im dem Luft..." or whatever it is (the balls flies through the air... but in German). That made it WAY easier (but also probably totalled about 1 hour of extra work because I did each card as it came up rather than coding Anki to do it.) I also adjusted the intervals a little bit... I think upwards (longer) because I have really good short term memory and can typically remember the last 10 or so things I've heard. Also I'm not sure what our levels of Spanish/German were before this but I had studied French before so my comprehension of Spanish was decent. You came to a lot of the same conclusions I did... sure, it's obviously not THE most effective way... but if I'm not going to do it for 100 days in a row anyway, doing all 1000 in one day is definitely doing SOMETHING. My Spanish comprehension was WAY better after it... like I'd say double, and it is still higher than it has any right to be given that I haven't touched Spanish in over a year. If you ever do something else relevant to my channel (which I know is unlikely), feel free to let me know (just so I can watch it... not because I think you're stealing my idea... I just want to watch it.)
Hey Lamont! That’s so cool that you found this - had no idea you’d be interested. Your videos are very cool and your crazy challenges intrigue me, though I don’t have plans for more :) Your way having the examples on the front does sound wayyy better, and seems like a more natural way to learn too. I had vaguely remembered from when I watched your video a while ago that you had tweaked all the cards in some way, but I didn’t want to rewatch it before filming in case it interfered in some way. I started learning German about a year ago for the first time, and I had initially attempted to go through the Refold Anki deck the ‘proper way’, but found it very difficult to keep up because many of the example sentences aren’t very beginner friendly in my opinion. So having a few more months under my belt before attempting the challenge most definitely helped, and if I did the challenge today it’d probably work even better, since my comprehension has improved. That’s so cool to hear how much it helped improved your Spanish. Looking forward to your next big challenge!
@@CorinnaLanguages Haha, you guys both did great! I am about to the same challenge (maybe less words, we'll see) in Japanese today and I just watched both of your videos while having breakfast to get into the mood! You both made the rookie mistake of starting way too early. It's 10 am here now, the perfect time to start haha Let's see how far I will get. "Die Bollen fleuger im dem Luft..." sounds so funny haha It's "Die Bälle fliegen durch die Luft". And I agree, having example sentence in the front page makes it better for me. That way I learned about a billion new words in Spanish over the course of the last 10 months with Anki _____ Update: I ended up learning 250 words. Had to stop at some point, but it was so great! I can tell it was absolutely useful for me. But now I'll go back to doing 10-20 words a day :)
This sounds utterly miserable. Something that could have made this less miserable is printing out the cards and pacing around a building with a small substack until you learn them all and move on to the next stack until you have them all. Pacing and small subsets help with memorization. This is how I got through Physical Anthropology.

I saw rhe video from 2 years ago about french and I though you are german I came to your latest video to comment and I saw this you are acually learning german So I wonder where are you from ?😅 I think your accent is not american !
I think 1000 is just too much but I like the idea in general. You're a hero though. I can feel the headache through the screen
I hear you! :D Thank you, it was definitely a challenge... glad it is over!
Just found your channel! So funny that there seem to be two possible responses to Lamont’s video - effff no, or… maybe I need to do this 🤔😂
Hahaha that's so true! :D I can understand why!
