Hi, I'm from Germany, but I'll try my best in English: I've been using Mnemosyne in order to learn Japanese for about 6 years now, and I had the exact same problem. In fact, because of this problem I lost my motivation in learning several times. Don't get me wrong, I really like using Mnemosyne in order to learn, but I'd like to adjust a part of this program with a plugin.
It IS true that you can use lower grades - I'm doing that and the "Easiness" of some of my cards has even reached 1.3 Still, when adding new Japanese vocabulary, the initial learning phase (about 1 month) can be quite rough, because even when I always use a grade of "2", the interval for repitition is too long in most cases. So in my opinion it takes to long to change the "Easiness" of Japanese cards from 2.5 to about 1.5 I'd like to be able to set the "Easiness" to 1.5 when I create a new card. I tried to research how the Mnemosyne algorithm works, the homepage says it is similar to SM2 and gives this link: https://www.supermemo.com/english/ol/sm2.htm It says the interval depends on the E-Factor (EF), and I think that is the "Easiness", right? There is this formula: for n>2: I(n):=I(n-1)*EF So if I have a card with "Easiness" = 1.5 and the previous interval was 20 days, then the next interval will be about 30 days, right? (I just want to make sure that I understand the algorithm before using this plugin) What I'd like to change with the plugin: When creating a new card, I want to select the initial "Easiness" (a slight addition to the GUI). I think buttons for "1.5" "2.0" and "2.5" should work. Unfortunately, I don't know much about programming with Python. Could someone please help me create that kind of plugin? Your help will be very much appreciated!! :) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "mnemosyne-proj-users" group.
