Custom flashcards

Custom flashcards for learning vocabulary

You can create up to 15 sets of flashcards. The flashcard set you create in AgileFingers is the equivalent of a flashcard box in the physical world. If you add more than 15 sets, the oldest set at the bottom of the list will be automatically removed. If you edit a flashcard set, it moves to the top of the list and is treated as the most recent. This ensures you always have quick access to the flashcards you want to work with.

Custom flashcards allow you to personalize your vocabulary learning experience. You can create a study resource that evolves with your learning pace by inputting new words and phrases in a foreign language. The AgileFingers application is built around helping you improve your keyboard typing skills, while the flashcards module enables expanding your language vocabulary. Custom flashcards can be handy for learners who want to combine touch typing practice with language acquisition.

Editing and updating custom flashcards

Editing and updating custom flashcards is simple and flexible. You can easily make changes, e.g., if you notice an error in a word or phrase or wish to add pronunciation. Just click the link to edit, and you can change the flashcard. Whenever you update a flashcard set, it automatically moves to the top of your list, making it easier to focus on your current language-learning goals. This process is seamless and ensures that your flashcards remain up-to-date.

Learning vocabulary by typing on the keyboard

One unique aspect of AgileFingers is its vocabulary module, which combines learning vocabulary with keyboard typing practice. This is particularly effective because it strengthens two skills simultaneously: foreign language acquisition and learning touch typing.

You can learn new vocabulary by repetitively typing the words or phrases. As you type out foreign language words, you'll develop familiarity with the vocabulary and type faster. Your muscle memory will especially adjust with the new words you type. This dual focus on keyboard typing and vocabulary memorizing helps retain new words more effectively while boosting their typing speed and typing accuracy.

Using custom flashcards for tests preparation

Preparing for language exams or school tests often involves memorizing large volumes of vocabulary, and custom flashcards are perfect for this purpose. You can tailor flashcard sets specifically for the vocabulary required for your upcoming test.

By practicing with flashcards, combined with touch typing exercises, you will gain both speed and accuracy, giving you the edge when it comes to recalling words under exam conditions.

Memorizing difficult words with custom flashcards

Some words are harder to remember than others, and AgileFingers makes it easy to learn the difficult ones. You can create separate flashcard sets that focus specifically on challenging vocabulary. This helps to tackle your weaknesses and focus on the words you struggle with most, which is crucial for effective language learning.

Tracking and revisiting difficult words with keyboard typing practice builds a solid foundation for language mastery.

Using custom flashcards for grammar practice

Beyond vocabulary, the custom flashcards can also be used to practice grammar. You can create flashcards focusing on grammatical rules, sentence structures, or verb conjugations. By typing out example sentences or grammar rules, you reinforce your typing skills and understanding of the language's grammatical structure. This method benefits learners who want to integrate grammar practice with vocabulary building, ensuring a more comprehensive learning experience.

Creating flashcards for phrases and idioms

Phrases and idioms are essential to mastering any language, and the custom flashcards feature is an excellent tool for learning them. You can create flashcards not only for single words but also for common expressions and idioms. This allows you to familiarize yourself with language nuances often used in everyday conversation but may not be immediately clear to language learners. Typing out these phrases during flashcard typing practice sessions helps you remember them more effectively and integrates these idiomatic expressions into your active vocabulary.

Not only vocabulary

Custom flashcards module in AgileFingers aren't limited to learning foreign language vocabulary. You can use it to practice or memorize any information you want to repeat. Whether you're studying historical dates, math formulas, coding syntax, or even terms for a specific subject, the flexibility of the flashcards allows for wide-ranging use.

Simply omit the field for entering pronunciation when creating the flashcards, and the card becomes useful for non-language-related content. This versatility makes custom flashcards a valuable tool for learning beyond vocabulary acquisition.
