What These are all of my study guides for my Latin studies.

When memorizing vocab, take the time to do a first pass outside of anki. I prefer to write things out by hand until I “know” it, then start anki after a quick break. For charts, have an LLM build you an html version and use that with cloze deletions. Multiple ways of asking the same question is good. For language learning, throw some exercises from the book in there as well.
