Book Review: Quick flash cards
Summary: 3 Stars
These are very interesting flashcards. There are 50 of them and they're nice and colorful. The pictures are cute. For me, at least, it doesn't matter whether the pictures are 'real' or cartoons. The point is that you associate with pictures.
I like the fact that you're given the articles "la" or "el" before the word because there are many words in Spanish that you don't know their gender. So knowing the "la" or "el" you know whether the words are feminine or masculine. English on the other hand has no feminine and masculine words.
I even learned new words. What confused me was the word "el venado" for "deer". My dictionary word for it was different, and it didn't distinguish which country it was from so I don't know what country "el venado" is from. Venezuela, Bolivia, Spain, Mexico? One flash card says "la cometa" for kite. Unfortunately there are two kites, so shouldn't it have been "las cometas" to go along with another card for hands "las manos"?
The word for orange(the object/color) is "naranja" for most countries, but the flash card here for that is "anaranjado" which I believe is from Spain. "Naranja" is a lot shorter (remember that "j's" are like hard English "h's")The flash card "el gato" is the masculine form for "cat" in these flash cards. For reference, for a girl cat, it's "la gata". The flash card for turtle is "la tortuga" but the word also means "tortoise" and the picture can't really be distinguished. But for reference, "la tortuga" is for both.
Mom and dad can be "la madre" "el padre" which I first learned. I don't know whether the flash cards "la mama" and "el papa" (I'm unable to put the accents on the last "a's" on both, facing left)so I don't know if those are really for "mom" and "dad" or whether those are really Spanglish.
The flash card for dog was "el perro" for the masculine gender. Why they don't have "la perra" for a female dog is beyond me which defeats the purpose of being gender accurate. Call me picky but for those who do have a background in Spanish, it's annoying.
There are NO English translations on the front of these flash cards, but phonetic spelling for the word for those without a background in Spanish pronunciation. So complainers who don't know the difference between phonetic spelling and actual English can spoil these cards for others by claiming there's English in these cards other than the English translations on the back.
The flash card for "el carro" is used in some Latin American countries, whereas you can also use "el coche". But both are right. The "rr" flash card words "el carro" and "el perro", remember to roll your "r's" which takes practice. Too advanced? Perhaps. But Spanish is precise in pronunciation and you'll discover that if you're a Spanish learner whose trying to be better with listening comprehension and you have a non native speaker butcher words, you could be confused.
Many will be confused when they see the flash card "la jirafa" which is giraffe. The phonetic spelling is "la kheerahfah" on the card. To make it simple, ignore the "k" and start with the "h" and make it hard "h" to make the Spanish "j" sound or better still it would've been simpler to start with an "h" for the card's actual phonetic spelling.
These flash cards are a quick, good start and for me at least, the cartoons are colorful enough and whimsical enough in drawing to be easy to remember.
