I meant the japanese language learning chapters, not your alone time chapters. I still appreciate the efforts sir.

さぁ、行け！少女たちよ！

Would it be possible to include a creation date by each deck in the download? That way we’d know if we had the latest version. I keep track of the date I download in my daily work diary. Not quite sure what decks to redo yet so I’m sort’a waiting until things settle down.
@huw: My thots exactly! ^_^

@Koichi: Thanks :)

Vurskari, you won’t have to re-read the chapters, but you’ll have to do something about your radicals and kanji decks. You have 3 options, as far as I’m aware, and they all suck, but at least you can be happy you’ve “only” gotten to 2 strokes (which makes it suck a little less, regardless of the method you go with):

1:
Remove your old decks and download the new ones, go through every single card again. If you wish, you can schedule the cards to fall randomly withing a time period so you won’t have to go through all of them right away. I advice you take this option, but I’ll still provide the other fixes I know for people who have gotten a bit further in their studies.

2:
Firstly:
* Radicals
Open your radicals deck and click “browse deck” from within Anki. From your internet browser, find every new or altered radical (but only radicals up to the stroke count you’re at) from the radicals section and open up their pages in new browser tabs, and then search for the old version of the radicals in the browse deck window. You should find 2 cards for each radical, I believe, but you’ll only have to edit 1 of them since they are linked. Click it and copy-paste the new info into one of the cards. If there are any new radicals, you can press the green cross button to make a new card with it.

* Kanji
From the tabs of the altered radicals you should be able to see the kanji that they’re used in. Go through all the altered/new radicals pages and whenever you see a kanji you already know, open it into a new tab. When you have these kanji in new tabs, go to your kanji deck and open the browse window and, like before, search for the altered kanji. You should find several cards per kanji. Edit one of these cards so the radicals used, meaning-mnemonics and on-reading-mnemonics all fit the new content.

To finish it off (important):
Download the new radicals and kanji decks and add these to Anki under different names from your old decks, so you have both the old and new decks. When you add new radicals and kanji in the future, you simply do so from the new decks and leave the old decks for reviews.

3:
Simply download the new radicals and kanji decks and keep the old ones, too. Whenever you add new cards in the future, do so from the new decks instead of the old ones. Deal with the fact that the new kanji will use new or altered radical meanings for their mnemonics while the old kanji still use the old radical meanings.

I’m not sure there is a more painfree way out of this mess, but it is makes you feel any better, I did method 2 and I’m at 5 stroke radicals. It took me hours I tell you.

Hi, hope the Fugu survives the operation and does not end up as sashimi. Anyway, it would be great if you can give detailed instructions what to do with the Anki decks now. I tried today to start from the beginning with a new Radicals deck which ended in a fiasco. Apparently there is no media download. At least my folder came down empty. Fortunately I kept the old one and just created a new deck with a different name. Unless you have a better way it is probably best to go through season 2 the old way, almost done, puh. And then start new decks with next season. Everything else seems complicated and potentially wipes out previous work history. I am grateful for any suggestions. Thanks.

Back to working hard, I do very much appreciate and like the new stories attached to the Kanji Vocab. Fantastic! I look forward to my studies every day.
