#11 How to make DIY e-flashcards for language practice

Recently I started learning Mandarin Chinese, and I wanted to make an e-flashcard device for my key-chain. It is way easier to study language instead of using the traditional language flashcards, and you can update the words as you study them.
Currently it works fine for Chinese and also for Japanese. But it can work for other languages if you just the defined font and you can study your target language on the go.

this would definitely help me to practice the language. i dont have any electronics knowledge, but after following the tutorial, i am convinced that i can do it. thanks for the video.

Best of luck!

I really appreciate your videos. You take your time and stay on point. . It has a good tempo and vocal control. I always learn valuable information from your videos, and implement them into my projects. Please continue your quality work. Thank you.

Thank you for your kind words.

Thanks. I definetely look for how to remember new words in a foreign language, and this is the best DIY method of making flashcards, and also it is not a lot a lot of money to make it. Actually i would save money just by doing this instead of buying a printed flash card

[@makersfunduck]

Glad it was helpful!

[@dash9computing]

Great project and video! Actually helped on something I am working on already (I forgot to load a library in ArduinoIDE). Thanks for making this.

[@makersfunduck]

Thank you for your kind remark

REMEMBER TO DO THE FLASHCARD IN THE SECOND STAGE OF STUDY!!! this is my step of 1st stage- read+understand the lecture (know which part is important- I often use a small amount of time to do it cause I want to study effectively)? 2nd stage- make the flashcard (1-2weeks before your test or exam, if you struggle to study- do it as early as possible) 3rd stage- learn from the flashcard- active recall 4th stage- review the flashcard- see whether the answers need to be edited or simplified Make sure the flashcard answer is short! not a whole ass sentence If you don't even understand what you are putting inside the flashcard there is no point in doing it, so understand the content before starting The key: Start early!! + Take your time to study effectively!

Great tips thanks

[@domcxz8643]

Yup, this is very cool ;) thx dude

[@makersfunduck]

Glad you liked it :) Hope it also helps on your Language practice.

I tried to buy one of these boards about two months ago, then I bought another one but the older version hoping that they get one of these boards sent to me but these boards aren't available on the Banggood website, this has never happened before that I had to wait as long as I'm waiting on these boards. I do really want them but if they aren't sending me at least one board before the end of this year I'm gonna ask for a refund, I'm not sure what's going on a aliexpress and I would like to know if this is happening to other people who did buy something at the aliexpress store the last 3 months and if you have to wait as long as I.

[@makersfunduck]

I believe they should be widely available now.

Great video ! Do you know if an 18350 battery fits in the case?

[@makersfunduck]

I measured the battery socket. It is around 7 mm. So no. but they do not use that much power. I dont expect you to replace the battery often.

[@JBfan88]

Why use this intead of anki?

[@mystery4501]

I also think it wont replace Anki, but I can see use cases. for example, every time you use the keys it motivates you to check a work. that would mean, every morning& night for home, and also each time I get in the car, and when I get in or out of the gym. I am currently only using Anki while in a bus or something, and thats all. I have spent 10 bucks for useless sh*t before, I guess i can spare some for self improvement :D

[@makersfunduck]

This forces you to look at the words when you remove your keychain :)

[@live4mint]

make it with eink

[@makersfunduck]

wish you made this comment literally one day ago. but with the new tool that I made, it can be done very easily on eink price tags. kzbin.info/www/bejne/eHTOfqhrbLiSj6M
