Connect audio to the written form
A word studied only on a written card can remain difficult to recognise in speech. Listen, say it and look at the spelling again. An isolated recording helps with the word, but it does not teach every connected-speech pattern in a sentence.
Keep gender with meaning
Le livre and la table illustrate a useful habit: keep the article and noun together. English does not assign grammatical gender to ordinary nouns in the same way, so make that extra information part of the learning task.
A small practice example
Once you know the meaning, try retrieving the French word aloud. Later check whether you recognise it in a short recording or passage, not only on the original card.

The published catalog contains 19,888 word/sense entries for this target language. Counts can vary by teaching language; they are not counts of word families or a certified proficiency measure.
Words are organised in A1–C2 study bands and units of about 50 entries. Meet a small group, answer in both directions and return for later reviews.
Supported teaching languages: Arabic, German, English, Spanish, Italian, Dutch, Brazilian Portuguese, Russian, Turkish.
What should accompany card practice?
Add short readings, listening and actual conversations. Finding the correct answer on a card does not mean you can use the word in every context. Check the meaning first, then try to retrieve it independently after a break.
