How to learn vocabulary with flashcards 

You want to learn all the vocabulary from the list below. 


Create your cards:

Get Flashcards. Or sheets of paper that you cut into the right size.  

Write all the words from the list below on flashcards and the translation on the back. You can download the pdf from this site for print and cut https://www.rafiki.dk/forberedelse/swahili/files

But it is best if you take your time designing your flashcards by hand. You’ll probably learn 10% just by writing them down. 

Now: 

Use your flashcards:


Use your flashcards two and two:


If you want to use flashcard apps for your smartphone there are plenty on the market like CRAM.com  or Flashcard deluxe. It is my experience that the pure act of creating the flashcards manually already counts for half the learning so if you have the cards and a pen use the physical cards.



Vocabulary page 1 - 12

Colour coding:

Print and cut and create a meme on the backside of the card. You can find the translation in the dictionary below. Use the chart "List page 1-15" they should be all there :-)
