Are you OK with the fact that you yourself judge if you were correct
(presumably, after seeing the full card and the correct English
translation)? Because, the reason I stopped using Logflash is that I had
already memorized a good chunk of the vocabulary by concept and usage,
not by keyword. Therefore, when presented with the word "cmavo", which I
understood completely, I didn't remember the (imprecise) English keyword
and got stuck repeating it 6 times more.
