Learning Vocabulary: SRS Flash Cards vs Reading

Описание: Which is better for word acquisition? SRS (Space Repetition System) Flash Cards or Reading? In the end of the day, both can be incredibly useful tools when you are learning a language but there can be times where one method might be more effective than the other. Much of learning a foreign language is about learning a lot of words and for some language learners, it can be useful to transition or use one method more often than the other.

I like both systems, both have some positives and negatives and understanding each of the method's strengths and weaknesses can be a useful thing to know as you go about learning a language. Once again, learning new words and having them built in your long term memory is super important! No matter what system you use, definitely make learning new words a critical cornerstone to your process.
