Hi! I seem to know the basics of Anki, but I have read through the manual and cannot solve this problem: I study 20 to 100 cards of some languages, and then the next day I want to study new ones. Even though I put them to review a week or two later or even bury them, it seems that I get the same ones the next day, and so I cannot go to study the new ones. Any help?

Have you changed your Deck Options [Deck Options - Anki Manual](https://docs.ankiweb.net/deck-options.html) substantially from the defaults? It would be unusual for a newly introduced card to be given an interval/due date that far away.

Buried cards will always be available to study the next day. [Studying - Anki Manual](https://docs.ankiweb.net/studying.html#siblings-and-burying) (page talks about automatic burying, but manual burying has the same result).

Even if you have a lot of reviews from yesterday, you should still be able to add more new cards today, as long as your deck limits aren’t preventing it [Deck Options - Anki Manual](https://docs.ankiweb.net/deck-options.html#maximum-reviewsday). But you can also control whether you see new or review cards first [Deck Options - Anki Manual](https://docs.ankiweb.net/deck-options.html#newreview-priority) .
