ESL Flashcards

ESL flashcards are a great way to learn vocabulary.

This page has many sets of flashcards for you to download. Many of them have pictures to illustrate the words.

You can use them whenever you have just a few spare minutes. Keep at least one set of flashcards with you at all times: in your bag or a coat pocket. Then when you are on public transport or waiting for someone you can pull the cards out and learn some ESL vocabulary.

This is the best way to use flashcards to learn vocabulary. A little and often.

New Year Flashcards

You can use ESL flashcards to help you learn vocabulary.

When you first start to learn a new vocabulary topic you can sit down and spend maybe 30 minutes understanding all the words, but after that it is better to do five minutes several times a day rather than one long learning session. Do this for as long as you need to learn the words. Maybe for a week or more.

Then you can move onto the next vocabulary topic and start again.

Once you know a vocabulary topic well you can try to use the vocabulary. The ESL vocabulary section has exercises to help you test your knowledge of the vocabulary from the ESL flashcards.

There are also the following sections of this site that all have exercises related to each vocabulary topic:

In each of these areas there are exercises focused on each of the specific areas, but they will all help you remember the vocabulary by using and having to think about it. So they are all valuable to do after you have learnt to vocabulary from the flashcards.

But no matter whether you do the exercises or not, as long as you keep using the flashcards to revise the vocabulary whenever you can, you will learn and remember it all in the end.
