I'm using the SuperMemo style of long-term memorization (http://www.supermemo.com/ ), which says the point of breaking down concepts is so that you can answer questions as quickly as possible during your studying session. Formerly, I did indeed put all the places into one card, but as a result when I studied gismu cards took more than fifteen seconds to fully remember, which violated the idea of having only one easy question per card.
But seriously, I'm also just interested in how people generally use "ti selkla mi" versus "ti se klama mi". To me, the former feels like the English, "This is our destination," and the latter feels like, "This is where we're going." But it's my English prejudice, and not necessarily the idiomatic connotations of Lojban. Do others think of the difference this way?

it's better to split concepts into cards as atomically as possible,Yes, but all the "conversions" do represent the same concept. So, it should be (i believe) learnt as a whole thing. It is not too hard, and greatly reduces a number of cards. And how would you distinguish between "front" sides of cards for "te klama" and "te muvdu" and "se cliva", for example? -- mu'o mi'e lex
