Iflash flashcards4/7/2024 While I agree that it may seem a lot of work to make flashcards I've actually managed to greatly simplify it. Here's a sample in a pdf file: Here's a PDF sample. It's really not any extra work if you're doing it on the computer in the first place.įor my flashcards I'm using the LaTeX document preparation system and I'm getting some lovely results. That will allow me to test for both the English definition but also the principal parts again (and for nouns things like gender, for prepositions things like what case it takes, etc). On those I will put a minimum amount of information (maybe just the infinitive form) on the Latin side and use them to test Latin to English. Of course the problem is that I then have too much information on the Latin side, so that's why the second set is needed. Then, on my Latin side, I would have the principal parts and whatever else I might like to know (maybe the word "tangent"). I don't want that, because it's too much of a clue and gives away the word. If you look at the sample card on the "Official Wheelock's Site" (linked to above) you'll see that they add extra information (like including "tangent" on the English side of the card). That way I test if I know the word, but also if I know the principal parts. For example, it might say "To Touch" if I wanted to test English to Latin. I like to have one side of the card have just minimal information (this is the side that I will test myself from).
