Here are some more ideas on how to use flashcards effectively.
Start with 3 flashcards. Lay them out in front of you. Point to the first one, say the word and its definition. Then point the second one, and do the same. Then the third. Now mix them up and add one new card in. Repeat the process of saying the term and definitions for each card including the new one. Repeat the process–add in another card and go through each card. Continue until you reach about 15 cards.
