I’m studying a foreign language. Part of learning is the repetition of new foreign words and their meanings. The repetition uses the following scheme. 1. In the morning, I study a new text and identify new words to review by writing down the new word itself, the context in which it is mentioned and its meaning in my native language. 2. In the evening I repeat new words I learned today. 3. I perform the next repetition in the morning of the next day. 4. Next repetition - the next day. 5. The next repetition is 2 days after the previous one. 6. The next repetition is a week after the previous one. 7. The next repetition is two weeks after the previous one. My question is: how can I set up a repetition scheme like this in Anki?
Answering a question with a question –
Do you have a reason to think that this exact and specific scheduling is more likely to be successful than either of the spaced repetition algorithms built in to Anki?
This schedule is based on brain patterns to remembering and forgetting information, short-term and long-term memory
I don’t want to discuss different way to remember words. I only would like to know if I can use Anki in this way
Arguably this is what Anki’s algorithms do, far better than static intervals can approximate.
It’s not possible to set up completely static intervals, no. It runs counter to the design, and intended function, of Anki.

As have been said, you shouldn’t be doing this. I don’t think we can get very specific and generalised recommendations for intervals from the current state of memory research (but maybe you’ve found something?).
But there are people who do this and they use the “learning steps” in deck options for it. So, yes it’s doable if someone wishes so.
