Help with vocabulary drills - flashcards on your PC
Vocabulary drills are substantial, yet the most routine, part of any language learning.
I will suggest some tools here, to help you with this task.
SuperMemo and FullRecall, are both flashcard software, and both have a free version available as well.
Their biggest advantage is that, once you feed them with your vocabulary lists, they will test you on the vocabulary words automatically. Over the time, they will adjust the testing to your knowledge, testing you more frequently on the words that you seem to have biggest problems with, and less frequently on the words that you know well. I will stay at this explanation, if you are looking for deeply theoretical stuff on how these work, look at the websites. Especially SuperMemo web is full of often scientific material about retention and learning.
As other, alternative, flashcard learning software, Pauker and MemAid come to mind as well, both free, and both of them can be found on SourceForge.
