I AM GOING TO LEARN SPANISH
I've got a couple of books that I'm going to be using and the box of 1,000 flashcards. Next fall I'm going to retake Spanish 1 (in preparation for Spanish 2) and I'll go through the text book and make my own flashcards using the vocab from the class.
Each day I start out with 20 words (this is the way I do most of my classes with memory work). I keep the cards and a small pencil with me and as I go through the words I put a tiny check on the ones I get right. The ones I get right go to the back of the deck and the ones I get wrong go 5 cards back. When a card has 3 checks on it, it gets taken out of the deck and replaced.
Here are my "words for the day" in English(Spanish)
