I’m an avid Anki user, but I don’t think I would use it to learn a new language. I think the way I would go about this (I’ve done this before although I’ve not really optimized the “method”) is to have TV shows or movies with the audio in the particular language you want to learn while having both your native language subtitles and the audio-language subtitles up in the screen (there are actually several programs that allow you to do just this, one is: GOMPLAYER).
This could work even better if you see a TV show or movie you have already seen previously but this time in the language you’re trying to learn (this has the downside of not being the natural audio of the show, you already know everything that happens and you miss the cultural knowledge but you can also pay half of the attention you would than if it were a new show).
I do want to note that I haven’t tried Anki for languages and since it works quite surprisingly well for mathematics I would be willing to give it a try (for doing this I would use many of the plugins).
EDIT: Since this has been initially down-voted, I want to add that I’ve done exactly this to learn various languages and very quickly so. I also think it could be a very good complement to learning foreign languages with Anki (without replacing it).
