I know Anki is the most popular by far, but what else does everyone else use? I'm currently listening to a Mass Effect Legendary playthrough in German. I use https://yourdailygerman.com/ to learn grammar. And I made a custom app to help me learn vocabulary in a way I find a bit easier than Anki.

What does everyone else use?

You’ve got the right idea, just need to change the implementation. Visualize the cat when you say die katze or a cup of water when you say wasser because that’s what we do naturally in our native language, and if you want to speak fluidly, the translation needs to go from thought to words, not thought > English > German. I mean, you can do it that way, but then you’ll have to work on cutting it out later.

That's a really good point. I'll give it a shot, thanks!
