Why Use Anki French Flashcards?
If you are debating about whether to use digital French flashcards versus traditional French flashcards, there are several reasons why many French learners would choose Anki digital flashcards.
Anki is a Spaced Repetition flashcards software. It is based on the research findings of Hermann Ebbinghaus who found that our brain’s ability to remember information is limited. He developed the Forgetting Curve, which outlines the decline of memory retention over time.
There have been a lot of research studies and academic linguists who have also explored the positive use of Anki and Spaced Repetition. If you are not familiar with the research behind Spaced Repetition and Anki, you can read more about here.
