Video Summary - Learning 8+ languages in Anki

Main ideas / lessons conveyed

Daily Anki routine with heavy review volume: The speaker runs Anki every day. On this day, they complete 700 review items in about 2 hours.
Trackable learning progress via statistics: They review analytics that include:
- retention (accuracy/retention rate)
- time spent today and in prior periods (e.g., last month)
- counts of reviews already completed and reviews scheduled for the future
- number of new cards learned that day (123)
Learning multiple subjects beyond languages: Besides languages, they maintain Anki decks for:
- Chess
- Geography
- Art (e.g., facts about specific paintings)
- Poetry/music-related or miscellaneous language content (implied by the vocabulary/phrases shown)
Language learning approach using content + spaced repetition:
- English vocabulary is learned largely from TV series—they mention finishing Ted Lasso and adding vocabulary from it.
- Chinese includes:
  - listening/pronunciation practice (e.g., minimal pairs, syllables)
  - Chinese writing for characters (some cards are corrected later; highlighted/green cards indicate pending fixes)
- They also do other language cards shown in the video (many non-English words/phrases as prompts).

Start with the daily statistics screen to check performance:
