Now, you might be wondering, why not just study with digital flashcards? And yes, you can also find spaced repetition flashcards inside our program. However, there are benefits to learning with physical materials that'll actually help you learn better.

If you're learning on your phone or your computer, you'll have tons of notifications and distractions. And chances are, you'll get sidetracked and end up on another website, YouTube video, or app. It's almost impossible to focus, and you won't learn anything well if you can't focus.

Our visual flashcards are a physical resource, which means there are no distractions. Five minutes spent on physical flashcards will be much more effective than five minutes on your phone, where you have app companies constantly trying to get your attention. With the flashcards, you get one word per card, so you can easily focus on one word at a time and nothing else.

Plus, physical flashcards are more easily accessible. If they're sitting on your desk, you can quickly take a look. But an app that's buried on the second or third page of your home screen will easily be overlooked and you won't learn anything at all. And physically interacting with the words and the cards will help reinforce your memory. Now let's get into how to learn with these flashcards. Five ways to learn with the visual flashcards.

Once you've downloaded and printed the flashcards, here's what you can do. One, set aside five to ten minutes and pick out 20 cards. Spend the first half reviewing the cards and the second half testing yourself on the meanings. Two, for the words that you struggle with, keep them in a separate pile. That way, you can focus on just the hard words and skip the ones you know.

Three, since the words are separated across 60 topics, you can focus on one topic at a time and keep at it until you're done with all 60 topics. Four, place the cards on the objects they represent around your home. Or five, turn it into a game with your friends. Have them quiz you on the words. So pick which way works best for you and learn with our visual flashcards.
