Learn Anything With Flashcards
Author: Rachael Cleipher

If you're like me, than you have a little trouble memorizing
facts or quotes or things of the like. For my entire school
career I had trouble learning facts like my times tables or my
spanish alphabet. I could never get the information in my head
long enough to stay put. I could read a sheet of paper with
important facts over and over and not be able to repeat the
information an hour later. I somehow managed to make it through
high school and into college. It was my first college roommate
that saved me the rest of my career with her tried and true
learning method: the use of flashcards.

I wish my roommate had entered my life in kindergarden rather
than at university. She told me all about the magic of
flashcards after I questioned her about the huge stack of
notecards on her desk during the first week of classes. I was
convinced that she was a little strange and that my questioning
would prove me right. Her explanation of the ways that
flashcards had made learning easier made me somewhat skeptical
but even more jealous. If what she was sharing was true, than I
had missed out on a great and easy way to learn facts and
figures.

Within a week of our discussion I had bought my first ever
package of notecards. As the semester progressed I made small
piles of notecards turned flashcards for just about every test
or project my classes assigned. I was hooked. By simply
breaking down the information into small pieces and recording
the small pieces on flashcards I could carry around the small
flashcards anywhere I went and learn the information. I think
that repetition is more key to learning than I had realized
before. I would look through my flashcards several times each
day and I was surprised by how quickly this style of learning
got the information into my head.

My college career and my graduate studies were saved by using
flashcards. It has been even more fun for me to teach this
great learning tool to my children as they have just begun
their school careers. I am hoping to instill great learning
habits into them early so that they will not deal with the
stresses of barely passing classes.

Purchase some inexpensive notecards and turn them into
flashcards to learn almost any set of information you need. You
don't even have to be in school to benefit from the use of
flashcards. I guarentee they will change they way you learn and
hence the rest of your life.
