Anki Kaishi 15K — A Systematic Guide

Anki Kaishi 15K is a focused training concept that blends the spaced-repetition ethos of Anki with a structured 15,000-card milestone (or a 15-kilometer endurance metaphor) depending on context. Below is a clear, organized write-up that explains what it can mean, why it’s useful, and practical steps to implement a high-volume, sustainable study or training program around the “15K” idea.

Review-load management

• Cap mature new cards/day to keep daily reviews under a target (e.g., 60–90 reviews/day).
• Use filtered decks to temporarily focus on weak cards or an upcoming exam subset.
• Use lapses settings conservatively: longer intervals for hard cards, leech handling to suspend repeatedly failing cards.

3. Example Sentences that Aren't Mad Libs

Core decks often gave you: "I eat a hamburger at the station with my father." (Verbose, weird). Kaishi gives you: "暑いですね" (It's hot, isn't it?) — a sentence you will say daily. The example sentences in Kaishi are natural, modern, and contextual. anki kaishi 15k

4. Who Is This Deck For?

• Absolute beginners (know hiragana/kata already? fine. if not, learn those first – 1 week)
• After Genki I / Tae Kim’s grammar guide (or concurrently, but grammar first helps)
• NOT for intermediates – you already know these words

Retention hygiene & pruning

• Monthly audit: suspend or merge cards <20% retention or duplicates.
• Quarterly rebalancing: re-tag and re-order priorities based on progress and upcoming needs.
• Keep an archive deck for retired cards (so you can restore if needed).

Daily limits (beginner):

• New cards/day: 10–15 (finishes deck in ~3–5 months)
• Maximum reviews/day: 200 (you’ll rarely hit this)

⚠️ Don’t do 20+ new cards daily unless you have 2+ hours/day. Cap mature new cards/day to keep daily reviews
