What’s up, I’ve been using Supermemo for three years. It’s awesome. Iv’e learned Japanese with it (And I’m studying Chinese with it). All of my education now revolves around Supermemo. Check it out, it really is the magic bullet that it appears to be (But you have to go through a WHOLE LOT OF WORK and stick with it).
