Speaking, maintenance, cards...

Here's a quick update on what I did since my last post. I’ve written two new articles that address common questions I receive:

How to Practice Speaking
How to Edit & Customize Flashcards (e.g., moving the image to the card’s back)

Both articles tackle a common issue: Seeing the image on the front of a flashcard or listening to the first word of the audio can remind you of the card's meaning without actually listening to the full sentence. I didn’t write a dedicated article on this problem, but I did mention it on the FAQ page. As a solution, either remove the image or use the card for some output practice (this is at least what I did).

I’ve also done some maintenance on my tools, including improvements to the code that auto-corrects Japanese and enhancements to the workflow for adding new channels (I used this to add this one).

Lastly, I’ve created around 200 new flashcards, but they’re not released yet. I plan to add another ~100 cards to complete the Intermediate 2 deck, and then I’ll release them together.

Thank you for you support!
