Description
In this episode I discuss the common criticism of flashcards as an "ineffective" study technique.
In this episode:
Three common criticisms of flashcards:
Involves rote learning
Vocabulary lacks context
Doesn't work for many people
I address each of these criticisms and discuss why I think flashcard software is one of the most useful and relevant organisational and learning tools for learning foreign languages.
