How a card works
Hang the new wordon one youalready know.
A mnemonic only works if the hook is familiar. So every link is a plain word or phrase a student has heard a thousand times.
-
The link
Hear it.
HOARSE sounds like HORSE. The link is always a word you already know, never one you have to look up.
-
The picture
See it.
A horse in a team scarf has cheered himself hoarse. One gag, readable in about two seconds, and it carries the meaning.
-
The answer
Grade it.
Flip the card for the meaning and three sentences. Then say how well you knew it, and the app picks when you see it next.
How studying works
