Flashcards with images will not only help you remember the shape of the word but also also evokes the context of use. For example:
- The word “ancient” (ancient): an image of an ancient temple, a stone statue or an old map will help you understand the nuances of this word more deeply.

Images create visual memories – something that helps you remember without having to translate into Vietnamese.
