The decks

Each line is one deck with a sub-deck per station, so you can study the whole line in order or one station at a time. Five kinds of cards, each with its own color:

E

Also on AnkiWeb: the same deck is in Anki’s official shared-deck library. Open it on AnkiWeb → If it helps you, a thumbs-up there helps other learners find it.

How to install Anki

  1. Download Anki from its official website, apps.ankiweb.net. It’s free on Windows, Mac and Linux. On Android, install AnkiDroid (free).
  2. Download the deck of your line from this page. It’s a single .apkg file.
  3. Double-click the file. It flies into Anki and the deck appears in your list. That’s the whole installation. (Tadashi did it. On the third try.)
  4. Press “Study Now” — ten minutes a day. Again = you forgot, Good = you remembered, Easy = too easy. Rule one: don’t lie to Anki.

iPhone: the official app (AnkiMobile) is paid. Free option: import the deck once with Anki on a computer, sync it to a free AnkiWeb account, then study at ankiweb.net in Safari — or simply study here, no install.
