Wheelock's Latin Supreme for Anki

Shared Anki flashcard deck paralleling Wheelock's Latin, 7th edition, as shared at https://ankiweb.net/shared/info/2078955317

This shared deck is not for the faint of heart. It will require learning the Anki software sufficiently to manage a large deck using fields and tags, and it will teach all the material in the textbook, not simply the vocabulary, as the other Wheelock's Latin decks shared at the time of this deck's publication do.

Features

• all chapter vocabulary (glosses excluded), including macrons, accents, POS where unclear, and English derivatives, exactly as presented in Wheelock 7th edition, in both reading- and writing- focused clozes, though typos are mine.

• Introduction (chapter 0) English flashcards on timeline of antiquity, pronunciation, and Latin authors.

• All conjugations (1,2,3,3io,4) and all irregular verbs inverted from Wheelock presentation for focus on reading comprehension rather than writing/speaking skills. The template is, front: [conj., prin. part, Latin verb ending without macrons] or [irreg verb form without macrons], back: [ending or form with macrons, person, number, tense, mood, voice], including distinguishment in p/n/t/m/v depending on macron

• All declensions (1,2,3,3istem,4,5) noun forms inverted from Wheelock presentation also for focus on reading comprehension. front: [decl., gender, Latin noun ending without macrons], back: [ending with macrons, case, number], including distinguishment in c/n depending on macron

• Adjectives categorized (1/2, 3positive, 3comparative, 3presActPartAttributive, 3presActPartNonAttributive) also inverted. front: [decl., Latin adj ending] back: [gender, case, number, (degree)], including distinguishment of g/c/n/(d) depending on macron

• Demonstratives, relatives, interrogatives, pronouns, comparatives, superlatives, etc., all with front: as the Latin word, stem, base, or ending.

• Preposition and verb object case acceptance and irregularities are also clozed

• English derivative series memorization cards for the positive/comparative/superlative forms when such forms are irregular in Latin, e.g. front: bad/worse/worst derivatives? back: malevolent, pejorative, pessimist

• Care taken with POS collision on word forms, e.g. vīs, eās, or relative and interrogative, also keeping the focus on reading comprehension.

• Intensive coverage of explanatory text, including case uses for difficult words (ablative use cases, subjunctive case uses, including ut and cum, genitive use cases, conditional use cases, etc.). Keep the "bury" function in Anki in mind with these; they are generated as three separate cards, each one mapping one of [caseUseName, recognition, comprehension] to the other two. They ought to be linked as different clozes in a single note are, and thus buried automatically when one of the other two in the triplet are studied. I may misunderstand cloze deletions but can't get this three-way mapping done, so simply manually bury the card when I've already seen this front today as part of the back of another of the triplet.

• All numbers provided from Wheelock appendix for chapter 15

• English "0/1/2/3-conditional" nomenclature grammar categories supplied alongside English in conditional case use notes for chapter 33

Usage

Installations

First, install the free desktop application from http://ankisrs.net.

Then, because the Latin forms are presented with macrons and accents, in order to enable lookup of Anki cards in the browser by the Latin forms used on the front of the cards, install this addon:

https://ankiweb.net/shared/info/1924690148

The Anki card browser and conquering prerequisite cards first

The browser allows you to select sets of cards with an extensive search language. This deck is intended to be used in concert with this extensive search language, as well as the Suspend function, which excludes (groups of) cards from the review schedule until you have learned the prerequisite cards in preceding chapters. The Anki manual indicates that for the sake of mobile app performance, Anki doesn't handle large numbers of decks well. (see https://apps.ankiweb.net/docs/manual.html#using-decks-appropriately ) This is why the cards are contained in a large, single deck, and chapters are differentiated only with a field.

In order to review only the cards from the Introduction (chapter 0), use the preformed search below to select the inverse set of cards (chapters 1-40), select a single card within the card list to bring focus to that list within the browser, use the "Select All" function from the edit menu, and suspend them. Once chapter 0 is learned, issue the browser search "Source:Wheelock Chapter:1", select a single card within the card list to bring the list to focus, select all, and unsuspend them. After chapter 1 is learned, select all the suspended cards from chapter 2 and unsuspend them, and so on.

If you do not search, suspend, and unsuspend in this manner, the order of the cards will be the order in which I input them, which isn't quite in the same order as the chapters themselves: I sometimes went back to previous chapters to add additional cards after having created cards from later chapters.

Fields

Field "Card text" is intended for cloze-style note import.

Field "Source" is provided with constant value "Wheelock" as a separate field despite the entire deck being from Wheelock's Latin for the sake of "unified deck" reviewers like me, who do not separate their decks at all. (See http://rs.io/anki-tips/ ). Instead, all the subjects I'm interested in knowing are interspersed in a single deck, and I can separate out just Wheelock by searching upon the Source field rather than using any more than a single unfiltered deck.

Field "Chapter" is the earliest chapter in which the Latin forms on the front of the note were introduced.

Tags may have part-of-speech information and/or tags like chapter32 which indicate the note was a reading comprehension namespace collision, wherein vocabulary memory and word form are insufficient to uniquely interpret the form absent additional context, and yet the collision occurs not in a single chapter, but rather due to introduction of different interpretation for previously introduced forms in the later chapter(s) so tagged.

Note also that, per the Anki manual, "You can hold down Ctrl (command on a Mac) and click in order to append the clicked [sidebar] item to the current search with an AND condition, instead of starting a new search." Thus however far you are along in Wheelock's Latin, you can start with one of the searches below and append any tags from the sidebar with ctrl or command click, or your own search terms from among what you've already studied.

What is "Correct?"

First of all, remember, it's up to you what to consider a "correct"-worthy review.

This card design was to emphasize lifelong reading comprehension via short reviews over the methodic introduction of grammar as Wheelock's itself is, hence there is a compromise to reference-forward all the later different usages of the same earlier-introduced forms on a single card, as soon as the earlier-introduced usage of the form is encountered in the text. That is, the entire textbook's answer to "What does this form mean?" is presented on a single card's back with a Chapter value of the earliest chapter in which that form was introduced with any meaning at all.

Notes containing tags of the form chapter[0-9][0-9] are based upon material from more than one chapter in Wheelock's; these tag(s) are the later chapter(s) in which different meanings for an identical form were introduced from those introduced in the chapter housed in the Chapter field. If you wish, consider the card correct during review only when you can recall the usage of the Latin form on the front of the card as it has already been introduced as you proceed with the text. As you progress to successive chapters, you can search on each new chapter's tag and reschedule the matching cards at the beginning of the new card queue, and thereupon consider correct during review those cards you can recall both chapters' description of the same form's usage, etc.

I also don't consider the English derivatives part of the memorization task, but still have them hidden alongside the Latin forms because they're too great a hint.

Since relative and interrogative are so similar and simultaneously so context sensitive, I don't consider their translations to be part of what's correct on the g/c/n cards, only on the vocab cards (and exercises!)

Leeches and additional cards

Leeches happen to all of us. Do not feel bad! Just because this deck was provided as-is doesn't mean it has all the cards you may need to successfully learn some of the difficult forms. I myself had to add many cards besides the ones in this shared deck in order to learn leeches, generally by drawing a silly drawing, photographing it, and using the Image Occlusion Enhanced addon, here: https://ankiweb.net/shared/info/1111933094 .
