ip 3 : Flashcard and Spaced Repetition

Due to the huge number as well as the complexity of Kanji, finding effective and scientific learning methods is necessary.

There are two language learning approaches that their effectiveness is proven that I wanna introduce you guys: Learning through Flashcards and the Spaced Repetition system.

As for Flashcards, they are a tool used to aid memorization. They are typically small cards with a Kanji or Japanese word on one side and its definition on the other. Flashcards are particularly useful for learning Kanji and vocabulary. The noticeable benefit of flashcards is their portability. I mean you can take them with you anywhere, and study them whenever you have a few spare minutes. Whether waiting for a bus, standing in line at the grocery store, or sitting in a waiting room, you can use that time to study your flashcards. Also, it’s very easy to use. You don’t need any special equipment or technology, and you don’t need to be in a particular place to use them. All you need is a set of cards and a willingness to learn.

About the Spaced Repetition method, it is a method of transferring the knowledge we’ve learned to long-term memory by creating appropriate intervals between review sessions. As we all know, if we learn without practice, we can forget that knowledge easily.
