And besides techniques that will take much additional effort to complete, are there learning techniques using existing material that make flash cards a waste of time?

I would imagine it would end up looking a lot like Lojban for Beginners, except with many, many more practice exercises to do. Chris Capel -- "What is it like to be a bat?
