So, Iâm an Anki user and Iâm completely aware of how intimidating Anki can be upon first glance. Here are some Anki add-ons that can help make the experience a better one. Feel free to suggest your favorites as well!
Pokemanki: For each basic deck you have, this add-on gives you a Pokémon egg, and it grows stronger as you review. I am a huge Pokémon fan, so this is a necessary add-on in my opinion.
Migaku Vacation: This add-on lets you take sick days and vacations from your Anki reviews, to not make the process so overwhelming if you miss a day.
Anki IPA: Havenât personally used this one yet, but as a linguist itâll be super helpful for French. It transcribes your cards into IPA instantly! Only a handful of languages are supported, so check it out.Â
Pull from Duolingo: This will take words youâve learned so far in your Duolingo course and make them into cards! Definitely great for those beginning stages of a language when you arenât sure how to make your Anki deck.
Puppy Reinforcement: Nice puppies tell you youâre doing a good job :)
Anki Simulator: This one lets you simulate your progress. I like looking at shiny graphs, so if you do too then this is for you.
Migaku Spanish: This add-on features audio recordings, color coding for grammatical gender, and a dictionary. Itâs also available for French and Portuguese and - I think - German, if Iâm not mistaken.
Beeline: It adds gradients to text to make it easier to read. Helpful for long blocks of text!
Beautify Anki: Are you tired of the boring grey background of Anki? This is one of your options. Itâs an attempt to make the interface a lot more friendly-looking.
Randomize Fonts: I literally had ZERO idea why you would use this one for fun, but one of the reviews pointed out itâs good for identifying words in different contexts, and if you are learning a language that uses a script that isnât what your native language is written in, this could definitely be cool!
Anki Accountability 2: Allows you to generate a report to send to someone about your consistency with your reviews. Could be useful among a competitive group of friends, or for language teachers who would like to implement use of Anki in the classroom!
