Flashcards

Several times we have mentioned using flashcards, but what do you think we mean by that? Just buy some pieces of paper with words on them? Nope, do it yourself, using index cards.

On the blank side (without lines) write down one of the words from your given studying list; I would recommend jotting it down in a thick pen, such as a dual tip brush pen, so it's easier to see. If you have time (and the will), you can also search up the definition, part of speech, language of origin, and more here and then write it down on the other side of the flashcard. Just do that a bunch more times and you've got a whole stack of flashcards to study!

Flashcards like these can be helpful when you're going out somewhere and you want something small to bring and study -- flashcards -- or you lost the original list -- flashcards -- there are just so many situations in which you can find yourself whipping out those cards and studying them, or asking a family member or friend to test you on the words!

Most importantly, the simple process of writing down the words, pen to paper, helps you memorize the words, and their meanings. It's another form of studying -- and will, in the long term, take you a step further in memory.
