Vocabulary building is essential to effective communication in a new language. One of the ways that you can do this is by using flashcards online. This is available on Livemocha (www.livemocha.com). Once you finish learning the words for the lesson, you are given the option of creating a flashcard set. The flashcards have English on one side (or whatever your native language is) and the foreign language on the other. There are also many other flashcard sets created by other uses that you can use.
Another great site for flashcard sets is Byki (www.byki.com). They offer free software for your computer that has flashcards in a multitude of foreign languages. These flashcards not only have pictures, as well as the word in your native language on one side and the foreign language on the other, but many times they also have audio. You can also find more lists created by users on their site under List Central.
Flashcard Exchange (flashcardexchange.com) is also a great source. There are tons of lists for various languages created by users. You can also create your own lists and save others' lists to your favorites when you sign up. This is a great site for students, because oftentimes there are flashcard sets created based on the book you are using in class, such as Pasajes for Spanish or Discovering French.
