You can make flashcards using small paper cards: On the front side of each card, write a word or phrase you want to learn. On the back side, write the meaning or translation.
Every day, review your cards: Look at one side of each card and try to remember what is on the other side. Then look at the other side to check your answer.
- If your answer was correct, put the card in a pile to review again tomorrow.
- If your answer was not correct, put the card in a pile to review again after an hour.
A computer can also be used to review flashcards:
- You can use our simple flashcard tool by clicking here: Simple Flashcards.
- Or you can use flashcard software from other websites (for example: memrise.com or quizlet.com).

Hi!
I found the "Learn these words first" article in HackerNews.
It is a really nice idea!
Do you have any plans to build an app based on these concepts?
I believe it would be a really nice learning tool, not only for English, but multiple languages.
Keep up the great work!
Thanks for your comment.
An offline app for the dictionary would be useful. It would also be nice to have additional quiz questions and stories written using the 360-word lesson vocabulary. (If you can help develop any of these things, let me know.)
Work has started on a similar Spanish non-circular dictionary, and there has been some discussion about French and Chinese versions as well.
Best regards, David
