For Spanish 101, I make flashcards with the Spanish term on the front and the English translation on the back. When I do reverse flashcards, I spell the Spanish term instead of saying the English translation.

I wrote this on a Post-It that I keep on my desk, but my dog likes to eat paper... So, I need a more permanent note. Here are my hacks for flashcards.

- If you have a Connect Course, copy and paste the questions onto Quizlet along with the answers. It's so quick and easy, plus, Quizlet offers a personalized Learn for you to study for your next exam. So each chapter I read, I add these flashcards and I study it weekly so I don't find myself cramming at midnight before the test.
- After each test you've had, if you get to keep it or at least get pics of it, use the test questions as flashcards themselves! You know how professors like to sneak in previous questions.
- This is my most important hack to this day. Ever since I was a kid, I depended on context clues to figure out the vocab, but then I'd forget that word which was sad because I love words. Any word I could use in my future essays would come from the books I read. After being introduced to more vocab terms by my high school teacher, she created this hack where you put the term on one side, and on the other side: part of speech, a picture, examples, and related forms. It was a way to instill the word in your brain. She did flashcard checks each week and we only knew the word if we could repeat the definition and part of speech successfully three times. Thus, you have any vocab you don't recognize? Make a flashcard for that word. Categorize it in the corner of the card by labeling it with its' class name.
- You know how textbooks have these Review Sections, or Test Yourself sections at the end of every chapter? Make a flashcard.

Flashcards have always been my number one method in learning stuff. It may not be for everyone, but here's what I love about them:
1. You can design it any way you like that fits your learning style.
2. You can laminate them when you're done and give them to a student who may need them when you graduate or hold onto them for future reference.
3. They're cheap, effective, and fun to do with your own creativity.
