databases for
posterity
Quizlet

repetition

the decks you
make

of pre-made decks

interface, free
phone app
My Wordbook 2

own
flashcards on
phone, with
images and
sound
- No image
bank, have
to use own

buy word
packs
- Random
words, not
in sections
Memrise
+ Free phone app
+ Easy to use
+ Don’t have to
upload images

and ‘mems’
+ Possibility of
crowd-sourcing
‘mems’

repetition
