Is this a good idea or am I wasting my time?

Postby mystlg18 » Sat Apr 13, 2019 11:28 pm

I am an intermediate in Arabic with about two years of experience. I've downloaded the entire Glossika Arabic program and have imported it into my Anki. Also, I have imported the entire Memrise course and DLI vocabulary course on there too. Each card is forward and reversed and contain audio. Is it good to go through them when I'm not immersing or am I just wasting my time?

Why are you not immersing?
Audio to English or Arabic to English are both good options. I wouldn't do English -> Arabic though.

Thank you very much for your reply! I'll adjust my cards accordingly. And oops, I forgot to mention, I am immersing and also add my own cards from stuff that I've come across from out in the wild that aren't from someone else's pre-made deck.
