Take a sheet of looseleaf paper.
Fold the paper lengthwise like you would fold a fan. (Each fold
should be a little more than an inch wide. You will have 5 or 6
columns.
In the first column, using your vocabulary lists, write the first 5
words in French.
In the 2nd column, write the meaning of those 5 words in English.
Fold over the 1st column so you can’t see the words. Try filling in
the 3rd column with the French words without looking at your
notes.
Check your answers and fill in any missing words. Mark any words
that you were not able to figure out.
Fold over the first two columns so that you only see the French
words. Fill in the English meaning. Again, mark any words that you
were not able to figure out.
Continue doing this until you can effectively define all words,
French to Engish and English to French.
Move on to the next 5 words and repeat.
