My German peaked during an exchange, where after a few weeks of it "washing over" me I was using the language more naturally, even if still making frequent errors. Equally my French peaked when I was working around lots of French tourists, so I'm very onboard with this exposure-based approach.

Nuenki is pretty much what I was looking for - plus it's a good shove to make switch from Safari to Firefox (a change I've been meaning to make).

I've heard of Anki as a learning tool, but not tried it. What makes it miserable?

I'll be sure to checkout the Reddit and YouTube links too. Thanks for the help internet stranger!

I'm a bit biased here. I used it prolifically for years in order to optimise my learning (school, not languages) so that I could compensate for a concussion. I heavily burnt out of it and I've not touched it since.

Nevertheless, if I were to say something more objective, it's that it's very dull. Other learning methods have you going over either somewhat-engaging content or intellectually stimulating learning (e.g. reading about the complexities of grammar).

Anki is just... word. think. click. feedback. repeat. repeat. repeat 200 times. repeat tomorrow.

You can do the whole thing with the space bar and 1-4 on your keyboard.

You can make yourself do that, but be wary of it souring you on the language or burning out.

I hope you like it! Let me know if you have any feedback etc.

I'd like to add Safari support, but Apple makes it pretty difficult to publish as someone who doesn't have a Mac or lots of money to spend.

Good luck with your German!
