How to Create My Own Spanish Flash Cards

You can make flash cards to help you or others learn Spanish. Flash cards, a commonly used learning tool, show a problem or word on one side and the answer on the other; users have to guess what the answer is. You can practice Spanish vocabulary with flash cards, and you can also write down phrases or questions. When you use flash cards, mix them up so you don't memorize the order (and therefore the answers).

Things You'll Need

• List of Spanish words and English translations
• Magazines
• Scissors
• Glue stick
• Note cards
• Pen or marker
• Rubber bands

Instructions

Pictures

1. Find pictures in the magazines that match your word list. Cut out the pictures.

2. Use the glue stick to glue the picture onto one side of a note card. Repeat with all the note cards (use one picture per card).

3. Use the pen or marker to write the Spanish word on the back of the card.

4. Stack the cards and wrap a rubber band around them to hold them together.

Words

1. Write the Spanish word in large print on one side of the card.

2. Write the English translation in small print on the back. Make sure you can't see the translation through the card (hold the card up to the light and to check).

3. Stack the cards and wrap a rubber band around them to hold them together.
