Hey guys,
Is there a website where I can input words and then run the program so that the words come up on screen in a random order? Trying to learn some french words which I can memorize, but the problem is that I memorized them because of the order they are in on my sheet. When someone takes away my sheet and starts asking me the words in a random order, I go blank.

Thanks guys.

    This may sound archaic but you might have better luck using acutal flash cards. Writing the words out on index cards will give you some practice and is probably a lot more portable than a computer program.

    Shuffle, stick them in your pocket and any free time you have just go through them. Shuffle again, start over.

    I wrote a multiple choice randomizer Excel script to help me practice reading Chinese a few years ago, with basically no experience with Visual Basic and hardly anything in the way of programming. It would be even easier to write something to act as a flash card and nothing else (I have some scorekeeping, too). But if you want to see the Chinese quiz worksheet I can email it to you if you PM me an address.

    yeah use regular flash cards

    not everything has to be digital, old ideas still work the best sometimes

    they're cheap and they're a great method of learning

    hell, do what I did a lot of the time, just make your own out of paper

    You could try out Anki:http://ichi2.net/anki/index.html

    I think it's been mentioned somewhere around here before for digital flashcards.

    The website shows it set up for Japanese but it should be useful for whatever you want to learn. Watch the intro/tutorial videos to get a better idea.
