How are you guys setting up/breaking up your SRS decks?

[Andy E]

For example I created an empty French deck, then dragged and dropped all my French decks on top of it. Then review the top level deck and anki will select from the sub decks.

Hard to explain, easy to do.

Beat me to it! This is exactly what I do.

Example. I have Glossika Spanish so I have a deck named:

Glossika

underneath that I have:

Glossika::Spanish
Glossika::Spanish::Fluency 1
Glossika::Spanish::Fluency 2
Glossika::Spanish::Fluency 3


Now, only the Fluency 1, 2 & 3 decks actually have cards. I can add the French in the same manner.

Glossika::French
Glossika::French::Fluency 1
Glossika::French::Fluency 2
Glossika::French::Fluency 3


I can choose to work on all Glossika, just Spanish, just French or the individual levels at a time. Naming the decks in this manner creates the hierarchy in Anki.

We are talkign desktop Anki on Windows, right?

We are talkign desktop Anki on Windows, right?

Yes. But once done there, the hierarchy will appear in AnkiDroid as well.

So I can still change the options of the subdecks singularly, add cards to them specifically, but basically when it comes to study, it's just one thing?

[rdearman]

Yep.

[zenmonkey]

I set them up as subdecks - I found that having one deck and then filtering them to create a study deck did not work for me because a) I was inconsistent about my tagging b) I forgot what tags I had used to create my study deck c) I forgot about the filtered deck process...

my subdecks are

language::material

or

language::material_type::material

for example:

german::movies::run_lola_run
german::movies::expendables

or

german::songs

I keep language as the top group because I'm not going to study two languages mixed together.

[Ccaesar]

One deck per language. Some have the AwesomeTTS plugin plus an extra field.

hey is awesometts worth using?

It's good enough as a reminder. I know what the languages sound like, and for the most part I've heard the sentences in podcast lessons or similar before I add them to Anki.
