Why Use Anki German Flashcards?
If you are debating about whether to use digital German flashcards versus traditional German flashcards, there are several reasons why many German 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.

The use of Anki German flashcards can help you learn German from the beginner level all the way to fluency by allowing you to overcome the Forgetting Curve. Many language learners enjoy the use of Anki flashcards because it allows you to harness the power of Anki’s Spaced Repetition and therefore allow you to learn, memorize and retain German in your long-term memory.

All you need to do is use Anki on a daily basis and review the cards that are prompted by Anki. Then, Anki takes care of the rest for you and automatically monitors your progress, showing you flashcards that you need to review before you forget them.
Anki’s Spaced Repetition Algorithm
While there are physical flashcards and other German flashcard apps on the market, Anki’s unique ability to space out flashcard reviews automatically using a Spaced Repetition algorithm is one of the main reasons why many German learners prefer using Anki.
It is through the use of Spaced Repetition that you are able to remember information for longer periods of time. With the use of Anki daily, you’ll be able to retain German far better than any other comparable tool on the market.
