Despite having been learning Welsh for aaaages, I still sometimes find myself unsure of my auxiliary verbs, such as bod, hoffwn, leiciwn, etc. So, I’m slowly making some flash cards, which I’ll find a way to release once I’m happy with them. Though I’d really like some opinions on the design, if folks wouldn’t mind.
Here are four versions of the first one, with different ways to indicate affirmative, interrogative and negative at the bottom of the card.
The differences are at the very bottom of the card - where it’s green with two white (almost) boxes on the first one, green, with just white on the second, green purple and read on the third, and green and grey on the fourth.
Well, I’m still very new to learning Welsh, using AutoMagic, and very much not at the stage of needing flashcards myself, but I do use flashcards for other languages.
I did see the difference, but your subsequent posts do make it clearer and easier to compare.
My personal preference is for the second one (version 2) as the existence of just the relevant colour at the bottom of the card reinforces the symbol, which then gives a nice, quick visual reference alongside the “key” of the abbreviation which serves to decode both symbol and colour-block.
Thanks for the feedback on the section at the bottom of the cards. I’ve completed a set for the first person for six tenses. Each tense has seven sets of cards, largely because I read somewhere that you need to see a word seven times before you stand a chance of remembering it!
Please do feel free to take a look and give me feedback.
