I used a program called “Anki” (http://ichi2.net/anki/) to teach myself Japanese vocabulary. You can register for free and use it online or download a desktop version for free.

Larry, flashcards are an excellent way to learn vocabulary. http://www.flashcardfriends.com provides an excellent way to learn vocabulary and then test yourself in various ways. I’d love to get your feedback on it.

Larry:
This looks very helpful. Thanks for all the work you put into making good lists for the “little people,” in the classroom. But I am wondering – do you ever sleep? I’m doing a Poster Session this Friday at CATESOL on Phonics. Please come by if you have time.

Thanks for including my site, Larry!–
I’d also mention the online concordancer, The Compleat Lexical Tutor, , by Tom Cobb, which has many dictionary/thesaurus and look-up functions in addition to instant concordancing based on Brown and other Academic Word lists.
