  1. The front side of flashcards will be presented to you one at a time. Try to answer to yourself.
  2. Click on the flashcard to turn it over to the back side. Check your knowledge in comparison with the back side of the flashcard.
  3. If you got it right click on the green “Got it” button; if you did not get it right click on the red ” Didn’t get it” button. Any flashcards marked “Didn’t get it” will be presented again at random and the practice will continue until you get all your practice flashcards right.
  1. Several cards containing the front-side or the back-side of flashcards will be presented. Not ALL flashcards will necessarily be presented and not ALL of them will have a match at any given moment. 
  2. Click on pairs of matching cards as you identify them. Correct pairs will disappear from the screen and be replaced with new cards.
  3. Watch the timer on the right side corner.
  4. Collect points as you go:
    • 100 points for matching on first attempt.
    • 75 points for matching on second attempt.
    • 50 points for matching on third attempt or more
  5. When you’re done, your time and points will be presented.

  6. Click “Play Again” to try to beat your time or “Exit” if you’ve had enough.

  1. One front-side card is presented along with four back-side cards.
  2. Choose the front-side card that matches the back-side.
  3. Continue practicing until you get all the matches correctly.

Practice Sets cannot be edited.

To accommodate various learners, I created multiple, smaller vocabulary sets for a given unit and “chunked” vocabulary for subtopics. In other words, I did not create one large, differentiated vocabulary set for each unit but rather several, targeted vocabulary sets for each unit.
