So you do have to do revision frequently (maybe 10 - 20 minutes every day), but it's the most effective way to remember things like vocab that would be a hassle otherwise via pure rote. So if you learn 50 words a week, you know exactly those 50 words you learnt, and ANKI helps you remember these by showing you these flashcards on a frequent basis (hence "spaced" repetition). The point of ANKI is that you get control over what you're learning. While definitely not perfect, you can edit each post to fit your needs. They have traditional characters available, and they have a feature that adds the Cantonese pronunciation into the description. Since you mentioned you've been learning the characters, you can give Skritter a try. I haven't personally tried Study Chat, but some other people seem to like it. While it could be better without the lame jokes and the long intro, it's still a pretty useful resource. Each lesson is about 10 minutes long or so, starts with a short dialogue, introduces about 10 new words, and thoroughly explains each word and the main grammar point. They have lessons for beginners to advanced learners. I've only used the website, but it seems they also have an app available. I personally think it's one of the most helpful apps out there. If you'd like to give it a go, I'd be happy to help you get started. You're right, Anki doesn't have the most user friendly site, but it's not so bad once you get the hang of it.
