MISTAKES IN THE VIDEO:
-22:12 - It turns out the that “what happens in the learning queue stays in the learning queue” rule ONLY applies to NEW cards, NOT cards that are being RE-learned. If you fail a “green” card and it becomes orange, failing it again as an orange card WILL reduce its interval again, as with each consecutive fail after that. On the other hand, the ease factor DOES only change on the initial fail, and once in the re-leaning queue, consecutive fails DON’T further reduce the ease factor. So to summarize: “orange” cards are safe EASE FACTOR wise, but not interval wise. Because new cards don’t have an interval yet (new cards are not given an interval until they graduate, so failing new cards multiple times has no penalty).
-28:30 - By default the maximum interval is set to “100 years”, not “10 years”; guess my eye somehow missed a zero.
hey thanks matt for adding this info!
Hi, I understand that the interval is reduced and not the ease factor, but does the false steps count in the relearning cue ? I mean if I fail 8 times while relearning a card will Anki count it as a leech or I have to fail it 8 times from a reviewed to relearning card ? Thanks ^^
@@Mordorac
If the card is orange you can fail it as many times as you want and it won't become a leech,
A card becomes a leech by default when it lapses 8 times. A lapse is when you fail a card that is green.

Creating a deck to memorize this.
You did it, you made the best possible comment for this video
I’m lazy so I’ll watch the video on Day 1, day 2, day 4, day 8, day 16, day 32, day 64, day 128, day 256, and day 512 😂😂😂😂

This is the best video that should be included as a part of anki manual...easy to understand...Matt also explained couple of minor errors in the video through his updated comment section. Great job...first time I understood anki after scratching my head several months...you saved my time...also love your explanation...easy to follow compared to anki official videos...thanks man..
Was gonna say the same. Very clear and informative video!
We are all so lucky to have Matt!
thanks a lot matt from heart.
This is an amazing high quality video. I love finding a nice tutorial on UA-cam that actually answers questions I didn't even know I had.
This is most likely to be the best Anki tutorial video on UA-cam... thanks, Matt! :D
so refreshingly concise, clear, and detailed. thank you so much for this!
Love how detailed this video is and how you made it so easy to learn the setting/algorithm of anki. I have been needing this video for a while and finally found this! Thank you so much!
This is what i was looking for for the last 2 days! thanks a lot!
Good job, Matt! Waiting for part 2 so I can benefit from the settings as soon as possible.
Did he ever uploaded part 2 of this video? I looked in his channel, but couldn't find it.
I changed my settings time ago, but I want to know the most optimal setting for language learning specifically.
This is quality content. Really helpful stuff, subbed!
Very well done! The only video that explains all anki card settings and it's algorithm completely. Tysm
You are fantastic! Thanks for such a detailed explanation, it put things in their place!
So basically, *(begins muttering rocket science)*
Yep, I thought I would just understand this one easily, but it does really sound like rocket science. I have just started using Anki, maybe I need to give it ago myself for a while and gradually understand it better. But at this point, I am getting lost.
@@angerventing2694 Nothing about the video was confusing at all. He spoke very clearly.
@@Ohrami It isn't about speaking clearly, he surely does, but any time anyone is throwing a lot of numbers at me, showing graphs I haven't seen before etc. however clear he is, it is still difficult to follow. Today, for instance, someone explained to me something about his bathroom and a bar he wants to attach his door to and how that ties all up to the poor placement of the window and while there was no problem following his individual words, I still had no clue what he was talking about. It is that the only way to understand is to take a careful look at his bathroom myself first without him talking at all. Sometimes people just talk too much. The same goes for Anki.I would have to see it myself first without anybody talking. Just like math at school. The teacher asks - do you understand? I say no. She goes on a rant explaining the problem, her hands pointing like crazy all over the place and I still don't understand as she forgot one crucial thing. To allow time for me to take a look at the math problem myself.
@@angerventing2694 Wasn't a problem for me to understand it given I was in your same circumstances.
@@Ohrami Perhaps you focused better. Plus I have ADHD.
Whoa that's a huge work u did!!Appreciate your work.
this is the most helpful video i've ever watched! thank you so much!
Thanks for this video. Very helpful
Omg! This is the best Anki algorithm explanation I've ever seen!
This is extremely precise and thorough, not losing clarity, smooth and accessible. But requires pausing to really digest bits and pieces.
Extremely helpful. Thank you!
Thank you so much. It was so easy to understand finally how anki works.
Wow, thank you for this video. Very throughout and informative!!
Amazing and comprehensive video, thank you!
Thanks Matt! I implemented your Anki setup instructions from your Refold article and it's made a huge difference. It has cut down my reviews so the process is not gruelling. Now, I have more of my day for immersion through Italian listening rather than revising.
I have a question: If you review your flashcards less often, wouldn't it be more difficult to memorize them? I hope you can answer my question. Excuse me for my grammar mistakes. I am learning English.
i feel so sophisticated.... im spending more time learning about how to use anki for Spanish than learning Spanish from anki.
Thank you for making this video! I appreciate it :)
I'm new to Anki this is really helpful and easy to understand thank you so much for making this video!!
I've played with the settings so I knew a lot of this, but thank you very much for making a comprehensive walkthrough for all the settings.
Could you please tell the optimal settings?
can't wait for part 2!
Insanely good video. I feel like a completely understand the system now.
Appreciate you. You just made a very difficult subject easy to understand.
I was waiting for this video
I've been waiting for a video on Anki, thank you so much (and your patrons)! I've already got a practical grasp over it but its settings confuse the hell out of me, and now I know how to make more use of it for the rest of my learning.
Maybe my low kanji retention at the start had more to do with me spamming the Easy button (they *were* easy when the stories were just fresh in my head) and less to do with me doing 50 a day... lol. Since you said the intervals grow exponentially and it affects them forever. Regardless I've had no issues retaining the rest of kanji ever since learning to use Good any time I thought a card was easy, and save the Easy for cards that took no effort at all, and use Hard whenever I had the slightest inkling of a doubt. I'd rather see these cards 3 months later than 9 months for instance (when I click easy). After this video I'll never use Easy again.
Your video is amazing. Thanks for sharing it!!!
Another great video! =D I like the idea of applying minimalism to SRS (even though your not using that word). I will "minimalize" my Anki decks and tweek my settings!
Amazing Description. Watching this in 2020 for Anki 2.1
niceeeeee I love the explanations! This is how it should be:)
such a great video, thank you :)
Thanks for this video!
Very helpful! thank you
Super helpful, thank you
hey man! thank you very much for the video!!! i use it as a manual ;) thanx a lot!
18:33 Hard button interval is now customizable under Reviews > Hard interval with Anki Scheduler 2.1 turned on.
How do you turn on Anki Scheduler?
Nevermind, I found it. For everyone else who's wondering. It's under preferences (the general options that aren't deck specific). Look under the scheduling tab.
The review step you set at 8:22 actually equates to just a hair under 293,319 years.
Great video! A short notice regarding Lapses options. By default Anki sets 'New Interval' to 0% essentially hard-setting interval of a lapsed card to what is shown in 'Minimum interval'. Also, maximum interval of reviews is actually almost 100 years ;) (36500 days).
i am literally holding my pen taking notes.gonna study those valuable information all night long before installing anki, i happen to get bored with it so many times and i think not having a clear idea of it's mechanism is one of the reasons. thanks Matt
Awesome, thanks a lot!
Can you do more content on the stage when one is still a beginner but already gone trough RTK1. It would be interesting to hear what you think is the most important stuff and what were the struggles you had in that stage. How much should one spend time with each +1 sentence or should one rely more on input hypothesis.
oh man that's just crazy. thank you
Really useful video. I didn't know that.
very informative!
Thank you a lot!!! I’m a medical student and I use anki everyday. Thank you for making this video!!!
Could you just tell us the IDEAL SETTINGS? Is there another video?
Thank you ❤️
Thanks for this Video
I can't believe I sat through this meandering video only to be promised another video that will show how this knowledge will be useful that is never linked to
👍🏻 very helpful
Thank you sooooooooooo mych sir....helped a lot
Brilliant mate. Any chance there is an updated version of this vid for the latest version of Anki?
you should make a video that entails all of the things you would do the first month if you were to study japanese starting from 0 all over again. A 'getting started' for people who want to start immersing, but don't know anything that's being said when they are listening 24/7
Thanks for the video. Where in the video did you talk about changing one of the settings that adds reviews but increases retention? I cant seem to find it.
Thanks mate.
Great video, now i wanna watch the next one, have you done it yet?
thanks for the video
If only i had this explanation before starting anki !
nauhaum user he didn’t do anything other than explain what each button does... no settings recommendations or anything
thanks now I finally understand what all it means
Thank you man! I was very confused on how this app works, it's not as simple as quizlet for me.
I appreciate you speeding through certain bits (e.g. drinking water), but each time it scares the shit out of me because you suddenly move like a Grudge-possessed body lol. Either way, great video! Very informative.
😂
great video!
but bro, i have a not video related question... did you ever covered how to sentence mine a manga as efficioent as possible? like, a REAL physical manga book. i am currently at berserk and really would like to mine it :)
Could you do an explanation of what filtered decks are and how to use them (or if they should be used)?
I looked it up, but I don't really get it.
Is there any guide available that will show in a few simple steps how to optimize anki for learning languages? I appreciate what you've done but going through all this gives me headache
same, i'm too dumb to take in all of this new information.
@@kapybara8079 How does the page you linked relate in any way to what they're asking for?
@@OmarMuhammadPlus Related to the low-key anki add-ons and edits, although the specific page linked is one of the background theory pages. Go a few more pages deeper and a summary guide for packages and settings to use for japanese learning is explained.
@@toffeekun1717 I need an anki deck for learning anki
@@jaredf6205 😂
Does anyone know if there is a way to change the settings of each button's effect on ease? I feel like good slowly bringing it back up to 250% would be nice.
Apologies if this has already been asked - but is there a reason that the new settings (like those in the pinned link) are different to those in the video?
Matt, in one video you mentioned an Anki add on that captures sentences and audio from Netflix and saves it as a deck (or something like that). Where is that add-on?
Hi Matt. If I´ve installed the Low-Key Anki 2.1 Add ons. Will everything be fixed in Anki or should I still reconfigure the settings?
where is the second video he mentioned ?
Anyone knows where is the video that he's talking about at the end in which he discuss the actual numbers for the settings to be the most efficient ?
These images are all easily found on the desktop version. I would love to be able to learn through Anki on the go by using my iPhone, but don’t see anywhere on Anki Mobile or Web where these settings can be configured. Is this possible?
hope u make a new video for the newer version of anki
Can you download decks from the iso app? Or do you need to import them over from the desktop?
Hey Matt. I was using another SRS app just now and was manually adding in pictures for 100 cards. This is a huge drag and I was wondering if you you know a way how to mass download pictures from a list of words using the first image result from google images via PC? It's a sinch to throw pics into a folder for the app I use (Flashcards Deluxe) so this would be my best solution. This doesn't have to be with anki because I honestly don't use Anki but if you know a general PC way to do that or an Anki way (maybe i'll bite the bullet and reuse that frustrating app if there is this feature) then let me know :-)
can anyone link me part 2 of the video
Great video buddy, when is Pt2 coming?
I second this question
@@StillStealSteel we can only hope.
Nice video
Does surusu work in a similar way? Im using a 10 year old mac (version 10.5.8) so anki won't work as far as i know. unless someone else knows a way to make it work. (Other than an update or new computer)
Hey Matt, or anyone else here that is well across Matt's Anki suggestions. I have added the 3 ADD-ONS are recommended, they installed fine - So now, I only have the PASS or FAIL option. With these three add-ons, did they change settings on the time intervals of NEW, LEARNING and LAPSE cards? I know everyone is different in how fast they learn, but I couldn't seem to find MATT'S recommendation of what numbers to change the respective variables to i.e STEPS, GRADUATING INTERVAL etc. The add-ons dont appear to have changed them. Also, I like the EASY button for new words that I want to promote quickly. The button was there before I installed the NEW 3 ADD-ONS - Any help in getting me back on track would be greatly appreciated. :)
what is the best anki ease for japnese, what is the best interval
I just wanted to be told what to change in my anki settings thats it. Is there an article made by you somewhere where you just show exactly what should I set my anki to? this video is a lot to take in xD
massimmersionapproach.com/table-of-contents/anki/low-key-anki/low-key-anki-summary-and-installation/
I think this one is a better starting point than the other link massimmersionapproach.com/table-of-contents/anki/low-key-anki/intro
Does anyone have the link to this video, where he optimizes Anki(the "part 2")? Cuz I feel like I'm just spinning my wheels with anki
Can't find it.. either he didn't get round to making it or it's gone
What's the shortcut you use to go back to the menu of all the deck?
Hey Matt, great video. But I would like to suggest a update because Anki has chanced a few things.
where is the next video?
How do you get the yellow legal pad effect on your cards? :)
HELP!! Pleaaase! What if I have waaaaay to many new ankis (9,000 new, 13,000 total) and my exam is in November 12th? I was trying to do 150 new cards + reviews per day to finish in September 9th but it is a loooot of Anki per day and it's getting kind of hard to finish it daily... do you have any advice for me? Thank you!
So, what are the best Anki settings?
Damn dude!! I HOPE Anki is more simplistic then you made it out to be!! Learning Japanese is difficult ENOUGH on it's OWN! I didn't know I had to be a damn master programmer & mathematician to learn 日本語。私は 日本人で環ありません！
Hi everybody, I don't understand why the intervals of my NEW cards (blue ones) on anki 2.1 are so big to begin with ( again: 10 min hard: 1.1 months correct: 4.4 months easy : 11.5 months). Can someone help me lower them? Or is it normal? Thank u very much.
I dont know how to redo the deck i had already dont like how do i revise it again
Hey I'm so new at this and this may be a DB question but how do I make my cards just front and back or cloze et
Hi I hope this can help. But if you’ve downloaded Anki, or have the app(free from google play store) but not on apple(not free), then you just need to click create deck if on web and then add.(it’s dificult with just words) this video is good look on my channel on liked videos
I wish I knew all this when I started SRS'ing.
