Cobo Cards

Flashcards can be really helpful to use, but not everyone has the patience to cut out little rectangles of paper and then write out the word on one side and the definition on the other. Plus, they really aren't much fun to use by yourself.

Why use Cobo Cards?

Cobo Cards were created using the Leitner Algorithm. Picture a box with all of your vocabulary words in it - as you begin to commit the words to memory, all the words you get correct are moved out of the box into a second box. You will be checked periodically to make sure you still remember all the words in the second box, as you are quizzed on words still in the first box. Once all the words have been "moved" to that second box, you will have succeeded in moving these words into your long term memory!
