If the word memories - puts the card aside - if not, it removes the bottom of the deck, to reiterate later.

After memorizing all the words are laid card in hand, and after a certain period of time (a week or a month) are reiterated.

Originally learned the word falls in short-term memory, and after the cards are set aside, quickly forgotten. But then it turns out that the information is erased in handy instead of short-term memory and learned words fall into the long-term. In other words, firmly remembered.

As paper cards, only better

Can you imagine a spacecraft NASA's "Challenger" and the catastrophe that resulted in the death of all the shuttle team. It was a strong blow to the US reputation, huge monetary loss and a real challenge.

Thus, the unknown word is associated in your brain: challenge = Catastrophe shuttle "Challenger» → serious problem. You built a association, new neural connections in the brain, and now you can easily remember what the word means.

When you come up with a bright associations that the word translated, take the time to press the button "learn". First, to repeat the words out loud five times, representing at that time his picture.
