I have the following challenge for which I need your help.
I am trying to learn a language with Anki and would like the cards to be queried in both English German and English German.
I had tried it with setting the decks to " Simple - both ways ". However, I then had the problem that the cards were queried in German - English / English German one after the other and not mixed. I would like it so that one queries me first German English o. English German and only later vice versa.
Greetings, I am new to Anki and pretty much have the same issue (among others). Anki seems to overcomplicate things a bit…
Right now I get asked a german to english card and then the same thing english to german as the next card.
I presumed it has to do with the Deck options, section “new card” or “lapses” but that did not fix it.
You can also choose the Bury Siblings deck option, which will prevent, say, a German → English card to be shown until you have seen its English → German counterpart enough.
I just came back to this problem, and I do not see how to set up the options of a deck to achieve the following:
In my deck the English words are always on one side (say “front”), and the German words are on the other side (Say “back”). I like to select whether I am either shown English words and must come up with the German answers or vice versa. But right now both ways are shuffled. Do I need to change the card template? Seems kinda complicated.
Anki has so many extensive options but this is a very basic demand, really.
