Learning french vocabulary with the Zettelkasten method

 

First thing to do is to organize the content by subjects. That means words are not simply structured from A to Z but there is a hierarchy available.
In contrast to the Leitner system there is no need to put the cards into bins. Instead the user is using a simple two pane folding editor which is organizing the content in a 1d array. The user has to type in the vocabulary manual and then use the pageup pagedown key to navigate in the information. This allows to memorize the information fast.
Suppose the user likes to know how to greet someone. Then he has to navigate to “2 Introductions” and there is a section for “Salutation”. The correct word is bonjour or salut to say hello.
