I have been trying to use Anki for a long time but can’t seem to get it right. I want to learn a language and have setup Anki for vocabulary words and grammar with the word and the answer and include three (3) example sentences, but when I try to study the words, the word in Korean appears and then the word in the foreign language but not the example sentences. Also, the same work and answer keep appearing in a never-ending loop.
Start with the key concepts of Anki to understand what I’m about to say.
I suspect you have added fields to the basic note type without modifying the template, is that right?
It’s not clear what you mean. If you mean in the note editor, then that’s because they’re pinned; press the pin icon 
to unpin them.

ZornHadNoChoice, thanks for your reply. I do not know how to modify a template. When I created the list, I added fields for example sentences. Also, where is the note editor? Thanks.
To modify the templates: main screen → 3 dot menu → manage note types → Edit cards.
Or in the note editor (the screen where you make/edit your notes), press on the “Cards:” rectangle.

ZornHadNoChoice, thanks again for your reply. i didn’t see the three-dot menu or the note editor. Also, each time that I try to get into the Anki Forums, I enter my Username and Password, and sometimes I see the message “Cap Locks are on” and each time my username and or password are not recognized, and I need to use the “Forgot Password” option.
You’re welcome. If you don’t see these then are you using the right app? Anki’s official website: https://apps.ankiweb.net/.
It may help if you post some screenshots of what you’re seeing.
That’s odd, your internet browser should save the account info so that you don’t have to enter it each time. Are you typing on a computer? Try pressing the CAPS LOCK key on your keyboard.
ZornHadNoChoice, thanks for all of your help, but I still don’t know how to set-up Anki on my computer to work like would like it to. I really believe that I need to talk with someone who really knows Anki to talk me through the setup.
You posted this in the AnkiDroid category – but were you really looking for help with the full desktop version of Anki?
Start here: Getting Started - Anki Manual .

Danika_Dakika, thanks for your reply. Yes, I am trying to set Anki up on my Windows 10 Home computer.
Okay. If your question is the same as what you asked first, the answer is pretty much the same too.
It sounds like you already added the fields with the sentences to your notes. The next step is to add {{field replacements}} to your card templates where you want the sentences to appear – Field Replacements - Anki Manual . You can edit those templates here – Card Templates - Anki Manual .
[If you don’t understand what I mean by fields, notes, templates, etc. – go back and read the link in my last post.]
