I’ve read and seen many ways that people do there reviews for there sentences, people recommend different things like “you only should pass a sentence if you can read everything” and “you should click hard for every review unless you can read it instantly”. I’ve adapted many of the principles and completely thrown some out depending on what I thought suited and worked best for me.
Now the way I review goes like this,
1) I first look and see if I can read the main word of the sentence (the part I’m wanting to learn) which I usually bold for emphasis.
2) If I can read the word I go onto trying to read the rest of the sentence and try to understand how the word is used in context.
3) If I can read it quickly without much thought it gets an “easy”.
4) If I can only read the word I’m trying to learn and maybe some other bits of the sentence it gets a “Good”.
5) If I struggle to read the word but manage it after some thought it gets a “hard”.
6) Obviously if I don’t understand anything its an “again”
Now here is were I may differ to other people, if I can read the sentence and the word but mispronounce or just miss out on the exact reading and go “haha damn I new it was that” I give it a hard. Really doesn’t help me to fail every card just because of a little mistake if anything it makes me feel down and have less urge to get more done but meh people might disagree and say we should understand it 100% or we might make future errors when speaking etc.
But this is were I disagree again who can speak, read, write there native language 100% without any areas or without picking up bad habbits? So look at it this way if you cant be 100% perfect in your own language how can people expect this from a foreign language?
The advantage is even though you may make little mistakes here and there think how easy it will be to correct this when you have the general knowledge of how something is read/spoken, much better than not knowing the word at all or getting so frustrated that you cant learn it perfectly that it effects your learning in general. It will correct itself in time either via somebody pointing out your mistake or your mind working a way in the background clicks when it realizes its wrong and sticks much more easily than repeated ‘again, again, again” in an SRS.
