Memorization
Available in both Appstore and Google Play.
Quizlet makes memorization that little bit easier.
You start by making a study set with a term and a corresponding definition. Quizlet then creates different ways to learn these terms:
-
Flashcards – like your standard flashcards
-
Learn – where you get the definition and then have to write the term.
-
Speller – where you learn how to spell the term/definition
-
Test – here you can test yourself
-
Scatter – a game
-
Gravity – likewise a game
Easy flashcards for your phone. Available in both Appstore and Google Play.
Make your own flashcards and add pictures to them if you like. They are nothing fancy but very simple and very good! The app allows you to sort the cards into "learned" and "to learn". You can make multiple sets of cards, copy them and share them.
