Learning a Language with Anki and other resources

 I like what this reponse to this post says about words Vs sentences for learning a language, and the use of Anki Vs other resources. And this post expresses the same ideas about context Vs isolated words, though I am more inclined to somewhat longer, more complex sentences than they are. When learning a language, I am not concerned about remembering the idea expressed by a sentence. I am only concerned with learning to understand the sentence, to extract the meaning. The issue of complexity might be much more significant if one were trying to learn the expressed ideas (e.g. math, physics, economics or whatever) rather than learning to understand the expression.
