Tools

Spaced Repetition

Anki - I highly recommend using anki it's not only a powerful flashcard app.
It's an automated spaced repetition scheduling system - a powerhouse.
I learnt Japanese via it and passed the highest level certificate for foreigners (JLPT N1).
IT professionals are sleeping on this tool.
