Make a 5-subject learning card yourself

The 5-subject learning card index - this is how this learning system works

With the 5-subject flashcard you have chosen a sensible and effective learning method. The method is especially perfect for learning vocabulary. This learning system is used for associative as well as regular and distributed learning. For example, you write your vocabulary on the cards; new vocabulary index cards are placed in the first compartment of the 5-compartment card index. Then when you learn, put the index cards you knew correctly into the next subject. If you did not know something, this index card goes back to the first compartment. You work on the first compartment every day and the other compartments only when they are completely full. With this learning system, your personal discipline is important, because you should work on the first subject every day and of course not cheat yourself. The individual subjects of this flashcard have different sizes, the explanation for this is that the learned material is repeated until the next subject is completely full. You can use it to freshen up your fabric over and over again. Once your cards have reached the last compartment, what you have learned is stuck in your long-term memory.
