linguistic roadblock

I've been wrestling with the nuances of verb conjugation in certain languages, and it's becoming a significant hurdle. specifically, the intricate dance of tense, aspect, and mood is proving to be a daunting challenge. it's fascinating how a particular language can have multiple ways to express the same verb, with each variation conveyings a subtle distinction in meaning. for instance, the contrast between the preterite and imperfect tenses in romance languages is a prime example of this complexity. despite the complexity, I'm finding it captivating to unravel the underlying mechanics that govern linguistic expression. my current conundrum stems from the discrepancies in verb morphology across different language families, which seems to be an intriguing case study in the diverse ways human language has evolved to convey meaning. this linguistic quirk is making me appreciate the richness and diversity of human language, even if it does pose a considerable learning curve.

Optimizing verb conjugation patterns with ANKI vs physical flashcards for Japanese language learners

I just hit a minor milestone - 500 ANKI cards for Japanese verb conjugations. I'm wondering if anyone else has compared the effectiveness of digital flashcards like ANKI to physical ones for language learning. Specifically, I've been using the Ichimango deck on ANKI to drill JLPT N2 level verbs. Has anyone else used this deck or something similar? I'm curious to know if the convenience of digital cards outweighs the tactile benefits of physical flashcards. For example, I've noticed that with physical cards, I tend to spend more time reviewing each card, whereas with ANKI, I can quickly go through a large number of cards in a short amount of time. However, I'm not sure if this is actually helping me retain the information better. Any thoughts on this?
