I ran into that issue too w/ sentence-based flashcards, where I almost immediately memorize the sentence itself and the whole thing becomes self-defeating. Similarly, I thought to use LLMs to generate fresh sentences on-the-fly, but the output was never reliable enough for my use-case... e.g. I came across some grammatical construction that the LLMs refused to use correctly. But, this probably depends on the language in question, since it sounds like you had success with it! Maybe I should try again at some point, now that the consumer models are a lot beefier than they were even six months ago.

> It doesn't but it also will not create a different sentence to you to practice a word.

Anki doesn't create either words or sentences. Drilling words doesn't work. You've drilled words and found it doesn't work. Try using clozes. It is not "less efficient" than drilling words, because drilling words does not work.

No word in French means anything in English. The meanings of words are just surveys of the contexts in which they are used, and French words are used in French contexts. Learning that a French word means an English word is just bad information that is cluttering up your brain.

If you're learning Spanish, French, German or Italian, try these.

20,000 clozes, words are repeated all the time, treat them as disposable. Read the sentences out loud and say the answers out loud to keep yourself honest.

edit: you don't need AI to generate sentences. There are already sentences available in every language.
