General advice for beginners –

  1. Read Getting Started, so you know what Anki can do – and Studying, so you know how to use it. Skim the rest of the manual if you have time, so you will know where to find things when you want them later on.
  2. Enable FSRS.
  3. Set one short (5m-20m) learning step and relearning step.
  4. Optimize your FSRS parameters (and then come back monthly to re-optimize).
  5. Study all of your due cards every day – no backlogs, no long re/learning steps to carry cards over to the next day.
  6. Don’t introduce New cards at a faster pace that you can keep up with the reviews on. [Expect that your daily workload will be 8-10x your daily New card limit.]

Thank you very much, after reading about your fsrs content and watching videos about fsrs @Danika_Dakika

I tried to reset the decks which have subdecks, but now the card is gone and they aren’t showing in the deck.

I made per day 30 new cards, is it okay and my learning steps is 1m10m, Relearning steps is 15m

I am new to study and I know nothing about the topics i am studying, is it okay to press hard multiple times as I know nothing

After few minutes I am forgotting my cards even,

I can’t think of what you’re talking about there. Did you select all of the cards in a deck/subdeck and reset them to New? If you did that, the cards will stop showing up for study until they are introduced again.

You can see the suggestions I gave about that.

If you get an answer wrong, it is never okay to grade the card Hard – the only acceptable answer then is Again. See the manual to understand how to use the buttons correctly – Studying - Anki Manual .

But if you miss a card, and just grade it to get past it, hoping you’ll remember it next time – you’ve forgotten to do something pretty important. When you get a card wrong, you need to do whatever it takes to give yourself a better chance of getting the card correct the next time you see it. That’s what the Learn/Relearn stage in the app is all about. This is especially true if you’re introducing cards you’ve never seen before.
