I'm still figuring out how to use Flashcards Deluxe for the purposes of Japanese vocabulary. I like the advanced layout option that allows for studying both E->J and J->E, but I haven't quite worked out how I should structure the cards.
These are the separate pieces of information I'd like to capture:
1. The original Japanese, with kanji.
2. Japanese, with readings and/or furigana (not sure if I want this to be separate from item #1, e.g. for quizzing kanji readings, or just try to incorporate furigana directly in #1).
3. English meaning.
4. Example sentence.
5. Example sentence, with the word masked out (for quizzing production in context for E->J).
6. Possibly part-of-speech or other comments and usage notes.
For J->E, I would have side 1 show Japanese, possibly reading (that might be part of side 2/the answer), and example sentence. Side 2 would have Japanese, reading, example sentence, and English meaning.
For E->J, side 1 would have English and the masked example sentence, and side 2 would have English, full example sentence, Japanese, and reading.
I'm not really sure what I want to do with the extra details, since there are only 5 main text fields to work with. I could maybe put part of speech with the English meaning or reading, e.g. [v1t], [adv], [na-adj], etc. and more detailed notes in the two extra info/notes fields.
How do you folks like to structure your Japanese vocabulary cards?
