Practice #12 Flashcards with pictures

Many people use flashcards to memorize the words they're learning. Of course, me too, and I pick Anki, a famous flashcard application, for my daily use. Thanks to its iPhone app, I can reinforce my vocabulary anywhere and anytime. It's very helpful for those who forget what they study within ten minutes, like me.

However, despite their usefulness, there were some words I struggle to remember. Even after reading these definitions over ten times, I couldn't get these meaning. I had to tackle this problem.

Therefore, recently I applied a new strategy to my cards: Pictures.

The strategy is simple. When I encounter a tough word, I go to a web searching site, enter the word, tap the "image" button, choose the most suitable picuture I feel and download it, and attach it with my card. It's easy to do, but really effective. I guess it's because human brains can remember pictures more easily than sentences.

For example, I upload one of my cards. I believe the funnier, the more effective.

That is correct, the human brain can remember pictures better than spoken or written words.

Also, very good grammar!
