Efficient usage

[Use sound wisely]

It has been said for a long time that you can learn things faster if you use your five senses.

Be sure to turn on the audio, and if possible, learn while pronouncing the words.

[Use card turning]

Card-turning learning is recommended for first-time learning or when there are many words you don't know.

Rather than taking endless 4-choice tests on words you don't know, memorize them for a very short period of time and then check them with 4-choice tests.

Popular Youtuber kumamiki also uses a combination of card flipping and 4-choice tests to study.
