Hi guys, I’m new to anki and wants to harness its benifits to learn English language, I have been researching for a some time and come up with this Note and card type to learn vocabulary efficiently and need help to get it materialize, I don’t no coding, and please don’t hesitate to give your suggestions.

So this is what I have come up with Note type, consisting these fields -

Word  
POS ( part of speech )  
Pronunciation  
Definition  
Extra (For extra information like other forms)  
Example (sentence)  
Playphrase

I’m thinking to have 3 card types from it -

_CARD 1_

FRONT = word + POS + Pronunciation + Example or Playphrase

BACK = FrontSide + Definition + Extra

_CARD 2_

FRONT = POS + Definition + Example

BACK = FrontSide + word + Pronunciation + Extra

_CARD 3_ (Type In answer for spelling)

FRONT = POS + Pronunciation + ( (Definition + Example) as a hint )

BACK = Words + FrontSide + Extra

_FEATURES I NEED_

Card 1 - word text should be highlighted where present.

Card 2 - word text should be hidden in definition and example on front.

Card 3 - word text should be hidden in definition and example on front when I opened as hint. Also looking for feature that can show me my previously answered text

I don’t have stuff like pronunciation or POS. I never even thought of adding them because you clearly don’t need such information. My notes also create just 1 card. Here’s my deck if you are in need of some inspiration (I copied it, it’s not my note template actually): [https://ankiweb.net/shared/info/907128911](https://ankiweb.net/shared/info/907128911)

I don’t think you can have logs like that although there maybe a add-on for that in which case I do not know.

As for search, see [how to search for specific card types](https://forums.ankiweb.net/t/want-to-study-a-certain-type-of-cards-in-my-deck/2148/2). Also, I suggest you read the Anki Manual. You wouldn’t have problem with search if you completly digest it (emphasis on if).

I have since done a redesign with prettify-anki as the base, and you can [find the deck here](https://ankiweb.net/shared/info/1913526536).

I’m actually surprised so many people clicked on the click. It’s I think the most clicked link I’ve ever posted.

By the way, you can find some other templates in the resource docs: [Resources - Anki Manual](http://docs.ankiweb.net/resources.html)
