Put It All Together with Flashcards
A flashcard is a simple piece of paper, usually an index card, with a word on the front of the

flashcards can turn learning into a game.
Along with the word’s definition, you should also include the pronunciation if you aren’t sure
you’ll remember it. Then you can either practice independently or have a friend quiz you.
