Making Anki Cards from BunPro Sentences

Hello,

I’m currently N4 level and I’ve been using BunPro successfully for a few weeks.

One question I have: Does anyone here use BunPro also as sentence/vocab mining? I’m still doing the N4 grammar and some of the sample sentences I really like and/or they contain exactly one vocabulary I don’t know yet. When this happens I would like to make an Anki card.

Is anyone else here already doing this? And if so, do you have any tips for efficiently and quickly creating said card?

Furthermore I am wondering if there is a way to access the audio. By doing some searching I’ve found that the N3, N2 and N1 is available for download. But is there really no way to download the N4 sentence audio files?

Yeah, I do this.

I use Yomichan. An issue is that the cloze “blank” (what you are filling in) gets left out of the sentence field, so I have to type that part manually.

Audio recording is pretty easy. I use ShareX, but there are numerous programs that do the same thing. I have a macro to start/stop recording audio, and you can push p to replay the BunPro audio.

I also take a screenshot a put that on the back of my card.

All in all, it takes about 20 seconds to create.

Here’s an example that I made just a few seconds ago:

I do this as well. My process is a lot more manual.

I copy and paste the Japanese sentence onto the front of the card. (This is currently broken so I have to type parts of it manually.) I go through and bold any words I don’t know.

On the back, I paste the English sentence. I bold the corresponding English words.

For each word, I then copy the definition(s) from jisho.org, and I add the furigana. (You might want the furigana on the front too, if you’re around N4 level.)

Here is one I just made:

A good tutorial for recording audio with ShareX:

Migaku automates a lot too.
