Memrise
polycounter lvl 10
I just wanted to share something that has been helping me a lot recently.
I've been trying to learn another language and i came across memrise and it's really been helping to memorize vocab, but then i started looking over at other courses and came across one on memorizing anatomy, and another few on music theory. there are a ton of things that are memory intensive that i have wanted to learn so this is a great way to actually acheive that goal. And it's a hell of a lot faster and more enjoyable than rote memorization from textbooks.

You can also watch other people and see how they go with it.

Learning anatomy by this way has been a great deal for me, i can learn other subjects while making sure i wont forget what i practiced for an X amount of time. I wish i had learned about this much earlier!
Edit: lexikeet is another great option: https://www.lexikeet.com/
In my experience, when I scroll through the courses tabs I get all inspired to learn everything and subscribe to all of them but only keep up with 3 or so, I can only take in so much information each day:P
It's also possible to make custom courses, maybe something like "who concepted this" to learn about contemporary concept artists and their work style =D
And yeah it would be cool to try and think of other ideas that this sort of thing could help teach. Maybe it's actually a practical way to learn blenders shortcuts >_>...
I found this article about learning languages really helpful as well http://fourhourworkweek.com/2009/01/20/learning-language/
Just make sure to look at the forum for a course to see if people have any problems. Since anyone can make a course there can be inaccuracies. I ran into a couple courses that had some wrong information.
The mobile app is also pretty fantastic and has been updating with new features quite a bit.
Good point, I didn't think about that!
I've been going through the tae kims course, which somebody adapted to memrise, so i can be fairly certain that one is good though.
For learning Kanjis, Memrise is not enough since the only way to learn them is to write them down.
I find memorizing them, then learning to write them is actually easier.
1. They are easy to remember if you know the meaning. For instance, electricity+vehicle=electric train.
2. The complex ones are just a combination of the simple ones, so it's easier to remember them if you already learned the basics.

It covers a mix of everything but it explains everything you learn pretty well and detailed. Which has really been helping me on the sentence building and grammar side of things.
