We can summarize some word lists, such as Longman 9000 and Oxford 3000, into one rule: the first 9000 high-frequency words determine fluent basic vocabulary. However, we need a fine understanding, which refers to the recognition, recall, explanation, example, classification, summary, inference, comparison, explanation, and application of language based on the dimensions of cognitive processes.

Based on this, we can batch process well-recognized grammar books (such as Quark Grammar), dictionaries (seven major English learning dictionaries and some native speaker dictionaries), and other language books. From these, we can design various language cards, mostly based on grammar books, writing dictionaries, visual dictionaries, and other language knowledge. These cards explain the meaning of words in example sentences, the meaning of grammatical structures in example sentences, judge correctness, multiple-choice questions, listening cards, image gap-fill questions, sorting questions, shadowing cards, translation cards, and so on.

Language input needs to be comprehensive and redundant, and in the beginning, it should strictly follow authoritative dictionaries and grammar books to create an Anki collection of language materials.

Here is a general framework for English learning:

1. Collect resources:

• Collect word lists such as COCA 20000, Oxford High-Frequency 100, Cambridge Level 6778 words (preferably frequency tables, not exam word lists).
• Collect dictionaries: MDX format Oxford, Cambridge, Collins, Webster, Longman, and other well-known learning dictionaries or native speaker dictionaries, as well as some visual dictionaries in EPUB format.
• Collect grammar books such as Oxford Practical Grammar, Collins Grammar series, Longman Grammar (also include error dictionaries).

2. Design card types:

   1. Meaning cards: In the case of multiple meanings for a word, each meaning should have at least one separate card. Each card should only contain one vocabulary or phrase and one specific meaning. Start by displaying an example sentence, along with related images or audio. If there is a Chinese translation, hide it on the back (requires a quick glance). The purpose of the translation is to better understand and avoid misunderstandings in subsequent learning.
   2. Similar word distinction cards: Write down easily confused words and provide mnemonic information on the back.
   3. Grammar error correction cards: Write down a sentence with a grammar error mentioned in the book, also only containing one specific grammar point. Write the answer on the back and provide relevant explanations or charts in the expansion section (quick glance).
   4. Grammar distinction cards: Write down several similar sentences that have different meanings due to grammatical structures. Write the translation or English explanation on the back.
   5. Fill in the blank cards
   6. Multiple-choice question cards: These cards provide a question and several possible answers, and learners need to choose the correct answer.
   7. Image cards: Use images to illustrate things.
   8. Audio cards: Use an audio clip to practice listening or pronunciation (remember to develop it into shadowing - read first, then match the differences).
   9. Video cards: A video clip that can be used to practice listening and audio-visual comprehension. Use images and actions in movies or TV shows to illustrate things.
   10. Matching (or selection) question cards: A series of options that need to be correctly matched by learners.
   11. Sorting question cards: These cards provide a series of vocabulary words that need to be arranged in the correct order (part of the syntax).
   12. Bidirectional translation cards: Both sides are a sentence or paragraph (pure text or text + audio), and learners need to translate it into another language (two types of cards: native language to target language, target language to native language).
   13. Sentence construction cards: These cards only provide one or more vocabulary words or phrases, and learners need to use them to construct a sentence (provide translation or synonym conversion when asking the question).

3. Create card content: Use regular expressions, AI, and manual proofreading.

4. Import into Anki: Anki supports CSV file format, so save the card data as CSV and import it into Anki.

5. Sort: Sort Anki cards based on the amount of knowledge and understanding from reading vocabulary books and grammar books.

6. Application: Test comprehension speed and accuracy through reading a large amount of reading materials and listening to a large amount of listening materials.

7. Improvement: As you study with Anki cards, improve the card content based on proficiency level (e.g., delete cards that are easy after 7 repetitions or don't require thinking at first glance). Remember to rate based on recall time.
