I never thought about ear-training!

My listening comprehension for Piano has always been lacking. A deck of piano sounds that map to actual notes (or even chords) might do wonders for it...

My current decks are as follows - I spend about an hour in total reviewing/learning them all, daily:

- 5000 most common French words

- 5000 most common French sentences (following the Alex Crompton method: https://www.alexcrompton.com/blog/how-to-learn-a-language)

- English GMAT Vocabulary List (to keep my English sharp)

- Unscrambling 5000 English Anagrams (to practice unscrambling for Scrabble or other similar board games)

- Some machine learning concepts & algorithms relevant to my day job

- Some distributed systems concepts & algorithms relevant to my day job

Are you finding the French decks helpful? I'm also trying to learn French (not using spaced repetition _per se_ but Pimsleur [which does use spaced repetition, really], InnerFrench, and reading [currently reading _Le TrĂ´ne de fer_]).
Are all your decks from Anki's shared decks library? Are you making your own as well? If so, what's that process?
