Thanks for the great review!
Two things I would like to comment on:
1) In your example, the cards about the breweries would actually be a bit difficult to learn (7 breweries), you could consider splitting the set into separate simpler facts, for more optimal memorization. This is well explained here (rule 9): http://www.supermemo.com/articles/20rules.htm
2) You used the term "cramming" for what we call "reviewing". In the Anki jargon, "cramming" is an optional feature that asks you all the questions, ignoring the spacing schedule, it is useful a few hours before an exam.
PS: You have a very good French accent!
Cheers!

Hi Nicolas,

Thanks ! I'll include these in the errata on the next episode.

>PS: You have a very good French accent!
we Belgians do our best, but we still have to freshen it up once in a while with French friends and a nice bottle of wine ;)

Thanks for the feedback !
