C4 Flashcards

Japanese

In order to provide an easy means to study C4 calls while mobile, Noriko Takahashi and I have assembled a two-column list of calls and quick definitions. This can be imported into any flashcard app on your phone. You can study any time you have a couple of spare minutes.

I strongly recommend utilizing spaced repetition systems (SRS) rather than a generic flashcard app like Evernote. I recommend Anki.

Note that Anki will by default only present you with 20 cards to review in the beginning; you have the whole deck but as part of SRS it only delivers some each day.

How to Import an Anki Deck

Android

High Level Steps

  • Install AnkiDroid
  • Sign up and log in on the app
  • Get and install shared deck C4 Flashcards
  • Study!

Detailed Steps

First, install AnkiDroid (it's free) and "sign up" once it's installed. You'll need to provide an email address that can be validated. Doing so takes you to the web version of Anki, switch back to the app once your account is validated, and log in.

Next, click the + sign in the bottom right and choose "Get shared decks". Search for "C4 Flashcards". Click the title, scroll to the bottom and click download. Then, Open the file (at the bottom). A dialog box will pop up, click "add". It should say 392 cards imported, click OK and you should now have a deck to study!

iOS

There is a mobile app with a fee of $25-$30 depending on your local currency for iPhone users. It has two advantages: you don't need a computer to get decks, and you can use it in situations where you don't have an internet connection.

The mobile-optimized web-based version for iOS is free, but you will need a PC (or a friend with one) to get the deck into AnkiWeb.
