Anki decks for Bunpro

Bunpro
#1

I did a search for this in Bunpro and didn’t find anything. Then I did an internet search for “are there anki decks for bunpro grammar” and I found an URL (bunpro.jp/decks) that says: “Signup and Start Studying” for N5 - N1. Each of these state: “This deck includes all of the most common JLPT Nx grammar…”

But when I clicked on the N5 option, I get the sign up for a free month trial of Bunpro. So is this ‘deck’ just the Bunpro system? Is there a way to get the Bunpro ‘deck’ into Anki? I’m guessing ‘not’ since I’m having trouble finding out via internet search.

Kinda sus coming from “Duolingo” :owl:

But no really, I dunno if someone’s compiled an anki deck for bunpro grammar… But honestly even if they did I can’t see how they’d be more convenient. With all the example sentences and what not available here. But if it’s something you really wanted to do, I remember seeing someone extracting the grammar list here. You could do it manually?

The Google search brought you back to bunpro because the grammar is learned from “decks” here

I suspected as much. Thanks for your confirmation!

If you just want an Anki deck why not search for “JLPT N5 Grammar” deck or something? Bunpro is teaching the JLPT content so it would be more or less the same.

Thanks for your suggestion…I did the search but did find anything I’d be interested in. At this point I think I’ll either drop this idea or just build my own Anki deck; but I’m not too keen on Anki either. I’ll see how it goes in the future.

In term of grammar learning, Anki can’t do what Bunpro is doing. What I really like about Bunpro is that each time we review, we have a new sentence. This way, it forces us to “think” and understand the grammar, instead of just learning the sentence (without understanding deeply the grammar behind).

The best you could do would be to put 5/6 sentences for each new grammar point, but it will increase a lot the amount of reviews you’ll have to do. Bunpro is way some intuitive for the purpose of learning some grammar.

I have a hard time in remembering new grammar I just learned, often it takes me a couple of days before it’s more or less etched into my brain.

What I used to do was writing everything down in my notebook but now I finally watched some tutorials to understand Anki a bit more.

I made an Anki deck with just the english description as the front card, the grammar point as the answer and set the repetition to very low numbers. 10 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour, etc.

So each new grammar point I learn is being reviews a lot of times on the same day until I click ‘easy’.

It’s a simple solution but for me it helps a lot in getting all this new info into my brain.

If all you’re looking for is repetition you should try the cram function. You can manually select the things you’re having difficulty with or navigate to the special paths and select things like, troubled grammar, grammar with ghosts, or recently learned items.

You can choose the review type to fill in the blank, reading or even listening. Best of all you can decide how many reviews per grammar point.

To be honest I’m not quite getting what the cram function is I think. I messed around with but as far as I could understand, you add a bunch of grammar, then it’s only review once?
I like using Anki because it keeps repeating every 10 minutes until I get the answers correct and then slowly keeps harrasing me with the reviews, does the cram function also have some kind of srs?

It doesn’t have SRS. It just allows you to do the reviews whenever you want. I usually select a set, say newly learned grammar, then I’ll do 3 cram sessions with them. The first one I’ll set to 1 item per grammar point. Then when I complete that I’ll go again and this time do 2. Then the next one will be three. By that point I’ve gotten enough practice with it where the regular BP SRS will do its job. I also like to just pick entire lessons (N2 lesson 1 for example) and then do the same process.

Cool, will play with the cram function some more.
