I actually really strugle to retain anything I learned with anki and I was wondering if this affects anyone else. A prominent example is when I was working through a deck of japanese hiragana and katakana, I was doing my cards at a moderate pace every day, and I just kept mixing them up, even when I was repeating them in short succession. After a few very frustrating weeks of this i ditched anki and started trying to write out the whole table from memory and checking for mistakes after, this strategy proved so successful I only needed three sessions for perfect recall. I used anki a few other times with similar results. I know the idea of learning styles is disputed, but this app just doesn't appear to work for me.
