Ed and other interested parties--
If you have drawn many flashcards, you could perform a useful service by having 
them photographed as computer files, for printing by whomever might wish to use 
them.

Another, extensive, project would be to extract examples from numerous wiki 
pages into separate pages or files, each labeled with primary topic, 
preparatory definitions if needed, and test statement, with a separate section 
for the result and comment. 

As I think further about the matter, this is very much like our Lab structure, 
where the result could be delayed until a Proceed signal is given.  To use the 
flashcards sorted by topic, the current Lab structure would suffice.  
Otherwise, a Jump signal will be needed to choose randomly which one to display 
next.

P.S.  Even without a flock of irregularities, J has several verbs with 
special-case uses, with adverbs, gerunds, or Fit.  Viel Glück!  -A

Greetings.  

I’m trying to improve my understanding of J by using the same approach that got 
me through German I-III: flashcards.  (It’s a huge relief that J, while in some 
ways as imposing as German, is at least free of irregular verbs.) I just passed 
250 cards (vocabulary, grammar and idioms) with no end in sight but it suddenly 
hit me that I may not be the first person to try this.

Have flashcards been used to teach J?  If so, what was the experience?  And: 
are there any decks still floating around?

Many thanks.

Ed
