Anki & Leo for iOS befriended two of the best service for learning languages

Anki & Leo - is an application that helps to reduce the study of new English words to memorize the most effective method. The application itself only carries your words from one service to another, but that the union these two services (LinguaLeo and Anki) to make learning English effectively than ever previously. Why do it and how to do it - read below.

What for?

There is a problem of learning new words in English. Cramming words from the dictionary is stupid, boring, uninteresting and inefficient. The process should be interesting, fun, and information - related and useful. And in this case LinguaLeo - the best helper.

Effective ways of hunting in the words:

• read English-language books (Convenient that even the context enters the card);
• watch / listen / read to LinguaLeo site and add the word out;
• to find the words to your favorite English-language sites (via plug-in for your browser).

LinguaLeo attracted millions of users to the study of language. But there were also those who are disappointed... Remembering the words in LinguaLeo not everyone is given easily. After doing the exercises in the evening or the next day they are forgotten. And here comes to the aid of spaced repetition method, the effectiveness of which we have repeatedly referred to Layfhakere. It is here that you and help technique Anki (there are versions for the PC and mobile devices).

What is Anki

Anki - a multi-platform program for the most effective learning new words (any media information). The algorithm works with information based on the procedure of spaced repetition.

The program is a deck of cards (sets of words) that appear in a certain prioritization. If you can easily learn the words shown on the card, and its translation, the card is delayed for a longer period of time than the previous one. Thus the method works and spaced repetition.

The Anki has a setup type and the cards themselves. Information can be arranged as you like. Therefore, Anki & Leo made cards, the most similar to the cards in LinguaLeo. So get used to a new way of studying the words will be very easy.

How to work with Anki & Leo

Working with Anki & Leo application consists of three simple steps.

1. Input. The user enters their login information LinguaLeo (e-mail and password).
2. Settings. Next there is a synchronization with the library LinguaLeo, after which the user can adjust the amount of words for export, the presence of images and sounds in the offline mode (this is done to save mobile traffic).
3. Export. The application automatically creates an archive Anki. We recommend the use of Wi-Fi connection when you export more than a hundred words.

Further, the user can only export it in Anki program. If you use Anki on your mobile device, then everything is easy, but if you are using a computer version of the program, the archive for Anki you have to get through iTunes. Then simply open the file and it will automatically be loaded into Anki.

Before you start developing Anki & Leo, I first tested the effectiveness of this method. It is possible for that not every method is suitable, or will simply not needed. But I have increased the efficiency of learning new words and language in general several times. All the words on the cards I see the context, ie. E. a proposal in which it met, and it helps more and remember those useful things that had to read in English. We try to gradually improve Anki & Leo and look forward to receiving feedback on its new users to make the application work more efficiently.
