À propos de ce fichier

This flashcard set helps learn English at an intermediate level, focusing on vocabulary essential for everyday communication. The cards cover a wide range of topics, including body parts like "collar bone," activities such as "skateboarding," and professions like "chef" or "accountant." The set also includes expressions like "mad about something" and "fed up," which are useful for casual conversations. With the "answer first" learning setting, you can reverse the learning direction – from the target language to the source language, making it versatile for both language learners and travelers looking to expand their vocabulary.
