Hey Gabe,

I've been using your methodology for ASL. ASL has a transcription system called 'Gloss'. It is analogous to how Chinese can be written in Roman characters with numbers to indicate tone. Since Anki can support videos you can roughly make the FF method work as is. Granted, a lot of quality of life could be added.

PM me if you would like to talk about it more once you wrap up the AMA!

Not Gabe, but I also use FF method.

For 'Integrity' I would use a sentence flash card with integrity blanked out. For the picture I would use someone I thought embodied integrity, I'm American so George Washington would work for me. Even better would be using a picture of someone in your life who you think embodies the ideal.

Convection would also use a sentence template. For the picture, I would probably use a picture of a water cooled computer, I'm a web developer so that makes sense to me.

What languages do you currently speak, and what does your study and review schedule look like on a weekly basis?

In the course of developing your methodology over the years what has been the most surprising problem and/or discovery?

Have you trained Nortbert(?) to respond to any commands? If so, are they all English commands?

So have you suspended your Spanish, Hungarian, etc. Anki cards? Or have they tapered off naturally since you have not been adding new cards?

I've been using Fluent Forever for learning ASL, so I think it can definitely be done as an unsupported language via the app. The app will just need to allow embedding video files.
