5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent tool for learning Spanish, August 25, 2000

I used these 1,000 cards in conjunction with a self-instructed course (Living Language's Ultimate Spanish); the cards proved extremely useful. I find that flash cards, in general, help memorization; they can be used during travel or other down-time.

The only drawback -- and given the excellent nature of the cards this is a small drawback -- is that the verb cards do not offer complete conjugations for irregular verbs. They omit some irregular parts.

An excellent 75-page booklet accompanies the cards. It lists the cards in groups (verbs, nouns, etc.) in both English and Spanish.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent to carry with you, January 6, 2004

These are perfect to carry with you. Use them when you have a minute or two of time that would otherwise be lost. Using them out of the box, I didn't like starting at "A" and working through 1000 cards to "Z". To make the cards more advantageous for carrying, and to include the entire alphabet in one carryable group of cards, I split the cards into 20 groups of 50. Not 20 cards into one group, then 20 into another. But, one card at a time per group, sequentially. This distributed some "A"s into each group. Some "B" words, etc. I put each group into a small envelope I cut down to be just large enough to hold the cards. I numbered the envelopes 1 to 20. I can grab a packet of 50 cards, carry them with me, study them as I have 1-3 minutes here or there. I can grab another packet another day. Always different words. And always an even distribution across the alphabet.

These are by for the best value for Spanish/English flash cards I have found. Price is very reasonable for the box of 1000 cards. Many of them not only contain the word, but also word groups commonly used. I am using these to increase my Spanish vocabulary, and I got a second box for a friend who is learning English. An excellent buy! Estas cartas son muy bien.
