Repetitio est mater memoriae (repetition is the mother of memory): these vocabulary cards allow students an easy way to memorize Latin vocabulary words as they appear in each chapter of Wheelock?s Latin, one of the most popular first-year Latin books of all time. Students can memorize Latin to English or English to Latin, and use the cards to help them memorize the full lexical forms of the Latin vocabulary words. These cards make vocabulary review a snap! A convenient cross-index of cards helps students locate the number of a particular card; a summary of grammatical forms from Wheelock?s Latin allows students faster and easier access to these references while studying.

Not as bad as all that.

Before buying this product I read a number of negative reviews about it. Most of which talked about the poor quality of the paper used for the cards, how the cards themselves tore easily. As for the provided box to hold the cards in I agree that it is useless, but the cards themselves have been quite a help in my studies. The cards are fine as long as you have a decent box to put them in to keep them from getting smashed or torn.

Gets the job done

Dough one could of course have wished for better paper quality etc., it doesn't really matter. They'll easily take the kind of abuse which results from ordinary use; and, besides, you shouldn't really care how the cards look once you're through with them anyway: their purpose is simply to allow you to increase your Latin vocabulary - not to become heirlooms.

Mediocre quality, excellent tool

As other reviewers have noted, these "cards" have their drawbacks, the biggest of which is the poor quality of perforation. I use the perforation to pull the pages out, then a scissors to cut some of the cards. The cards themselves are a bit thin but then this is a single-purpose, probably single-use, product.

Drawbacks aside, I found these cards invaluable. I just completed Latin 101 at the University of Oregon, and easily got an A for fall term, due in no small part to using these flashcards as a major component of my review and pre-test study time. In contrast, I found the Workbook for Wheelock's Latin to be comparatively useless.

Once you start moving beyond Wheelock, the Vis-Ed flash cards (1000 per pack) are the next step. They're high quality, pre-cut and useful indefinitely.
