Sentence Mining

Here is a very interesting article on putting to effective use an SRS program with a technique this blogger calls 'sentence mining.' Glowing Face Man (yes, that's what he calls himself) uses Spaced Repetition software to accumulate and memorize vocabulary, phrases and whole sentences to learn and absorb a new language. It is similar to the 10,000 Sentence method, and is kind of a stripped-down do-it-yourself version of Lingq. I have been using one of these SRS software systems for a little while and find it indispensable. He goes into extensive detail on what an SRS is, what 'sentence mining' is and how to use this concept to learn a new language. His blog also contains lots of other valuable insights into learning a language.
