Word: Can I make my own hints and add images?
Definition: "סוּס = Horse"
Yes.  The more you can customize Anki to make it your own, the more effective your learning will be.
- You may make your own vocabulary hints or add an image by pressing "E" and editing the applicable fields.
  - While it is probalby easier to do this from the desktop version, it is possible to do this from the Mobile app by tapping on the "gear"  button, then tapping the "edit" button. You will be presented with the same fields as on the desktop version
  - Many vocabulary cards will have pre-loaded hints from other students - if these help, great; if they don't,  feel free to delete them, or simply ignore them.
    - In this card, notice how the typed hint doesn't give the answer but it sounds like something from a Dr. Seuss book
    - Seuss? Ride?  Ah, the Hebrew word for "horse" is סוּס, which is transliterated sus, which rhymes with Seuss.
  - Things such as images and verbal hints are called "mnemonics" - memory aids
  - Research shows the sillier or more outlandish your mnemonic, the better the concept will stick in your mind
  - Similarly, the more personal an image is to you, the more likely you are to associate the image with the word you are trying to learn
- You can press "E" right now and play around with this card. You won't hurt anything!
  - You can change text, add hints, or copy and paste images.
- Note the three examples of images below using the word סוּס (horse), ranging from good to not so good
- On the "live" cards starting with lesson 1, we do not recommend altering the {{Word}}, {{Definition}}, or {{Audio}} fields
The next card will show you an example of testing you with the audio and the image and you would need to answer with the Hebrew word, spelled correctly.
IMAGE EXAMPLES:
A simple image with no Hebrew or English words is best
The type of image below is OK if testing Hebrew-to-English; it would not be recommend if testing English-to-Hebrew as it contains the answer:
The type of image below is not recommended (picture contains the English answer):

Image: What is this?
Hint: I could ride it through a barn, I could ride it on a farm, I could ride it through a field, I could ride it with a shield...

Transliteration: sus

Q: How do I know when I can hit the "good" button on the Verses translation cards (beginning with Lesson 03)?
[...]
A: One of the main goals of this course is to give you the ability to translate from Hebrew to English at a basic level.  Below are some guidelines for answering:
- You do not necessarily need to be able to translate the entire passage from memory; if you can comfortably read the Hebrew and your translation is roughly similar to the English answer (it doesn't have to be exact) you should hit "good"
- If your translation is missing one or more words when compared to the English answer (again excluding roughly equivalent meanings), you should select "again"
- If your verb tense is incorrect, you should select "again"
- If you need to use a  hint, you should select "again" until you can translate without needing to refer to the hint.
- We do not ever recommend selecting "easy" unless you are confident that you know the passage so well from memory that you do not need to see it again for a long time.
- Click "hard" when you ultimately are able to translate the passage correctly, but you struggled with it.
Back Extra: Type ! (exclamation point) to dismiss this card.

Q: How do I know when I can hit the "good" button on the Vocabulary or Grammar cards?
[...]
A: - Once you are able to answer the question correctly in a reasonably short period of time, you should select "good"
- If your answer is incorrect in any way, including a mixture of correct and incorrect responses on a multiple-part fill-in the blank (aka "cloze") question, you should select "again"
- If you need to use a video or written hint, you should select "again" until you can answer correctly without needing to refer to the hint.
  - If you have added your own image as a memory aid, this does not count as using a hint provided no part of the written answer appears in the image.
- We do not ever recommend selecting "easy" unless you are confident that you know the answer so well from memory that you do not need to see it again for a very long time.
- Click "hard" when you ultimately are able to answer the question correctly, but you struggled with it.
Back Extra: Type ! (or the gear button/suspend card on the mobile app) to dismiss this card.

Prompt: Did you customize your Anki settings as instructed in the Hebrew GRAMMAR Quest guidebook?
Answer: "YES!"
You should have already done this.  If not, stop right now and refer to the Hebrew GRAMMAR Quest guidebook.  See the introductory section on "Customize Anki Settings."
Make sure you change the settings next to "Hebrew Grammar Quest" (top level), and not any of the sub-levels.

Q: Welcome to the Hebrew GRAMMAR Quest Anki training deck. This introduction section is designed to get you up and running quickly.
Sample question:
Do you know your name?
[click or tap to reveal the answer]
A: YES!
Back Extra: - If this were a Lesson card and you answered correctly, you would press the "GOOD" button below.
- If you answered incorrectly, you would press the "AGAIN" button below.
- We do not recommend pressing "EASY" unless you already have the concept embedded in your long term memory.
- Eventually, you'll be presented with an additional button, "HARD".  As the name suggests, you would select this if you answered correctly but it was a struggle.  This tells Anki that you need to be presented with the word again sooner than if you had pressed "GOOD".
- We'll have a bit more to say about when to select these choices on the next two cards.
If you understand THIS preview card, you may press the ! to "suspend" which will permanently remove the card from your review queue (it will still be available if you click "Browse").  On the Mobile app, click the "gear" then the "suspend card" button.
