This week, I decided to focus on expanding my vocabulary by trying out a new strategy: using flashcards. I've heard that flashcards are effective for memorizing new words, so I wanted to give them a shot.
How I Used the Strategy
First, I picked five new words from an article I read recently. I wrote each word on one side of a flashcard and its definition, part of speech, and an example sentence on the other side. Throughout the day, I reviewed the flashcards several times-during breakfast, on my commute, and before bed.
