Whole phrases, not loose words
These flashcards use complete phrases on purpose. Memorizing "fork" and "spoon" will not save you at a restaurant; knowing "Can we get the check, please?" will. A ready phrase carries grammar, pronunciation and context at once. Want to measure your vocabulary first? Take our vocabulary test.
Frequently asked
Read the English phrase, try to recall the meaning before flipping, and be honest with the buttons: marking 'I didn't know' is what makes the practice count. Even better: say the phrase out loud before flipping.
For vocabulary, yes: the effort of recalling before you flip (active recall) is one of the most studied and effective memorization methods. What flashcards do not train is speaking, so say each phrase out loud.
One topic a day (20 phrases) is a great dose. Repeating the same topic the next day is where the magic happens.
