The current situation
To study Chinese I have tree decks chinese-hanzi
, chinese-pinyin
, and Maobi
(and addon to remember and draw strokes in the good order and way).
Each of them have a card with meaning
and pronunciation
. Also the chinese-hanzi
and Maobi
have an additional pinyin
field who is a duplicate from chinese-pinyin
.
The problem
As you see, their is lot of dispersion and redundancy. Also, for each new word I have to manually feed tree times all this decks.
The expected behaviour
Ideally, I want to type only one time in one card each new word. This card should include the fields :
- Hanzi (chinese symbol) ;
- pinyin (Latin standardize transliteration) ;
- Meaning ;
- Pronunciation ;
- Etymology (It’s highly important to remember the hanzi).
After then, the decks should ideally automatically generated, as example :
- Guess hanzi meaning: recto:hanzi and verso:pinyin+meaning+pronunciation ;
- Guess hanzi after meaning: recto: meaning verso:hanzi ;
- Guess pinyin: recto:hanzi verso:pinyin ;
- Guess stroke way and order: a normal Maobi deck.
The question
Is this workflow possible? Is it already made somewhere and how can I get it?
Additional talk
As I said here and their, lot of people asking for batch and automation process inside Anki. And basically the answers are “not”· BTW, probably the process I describe here is shared by lot of persons, and some of them already find a solution for it.
