In this podcast and on my blog, I've often discussed how Anki flashcards can be used to boost your Mandarin learning.


Anki is a Spaced Repetition flashcards program that enables you to drill and create flashcards to aid your memory's retention of new information.


And my guest on today's podcast recently decided to take the Anki plunge, setting himself an ambitious challenge to drill flashcards for several hours a day every day, while documenting his progress on his blog.


Philipp Marxen is from Germany and has been learning Mandarin on and off for over two decades.


In this episode, we discuss his recent one-month challenge, including how he structured his learning and what it was like drilling Anki for several hours a day.


Does he recommend the method to others? Listen on to hear more.
