I’ve been using them to memorize vocabulary words. Some cards come with dividers, and I’m using those to separate verb groups so I can place the mnemonic images in a memory town. Verbs from different groups are placed in different locations in the memory town, making it easy to recall which verb belongs in each group.

Where to Buy Mini Flash Cards

Mini flashcards are widely available at stationary stores. Daiso has a selection if there is a Daiso nearby.
