What's the capital of Kansas? The French word for "green?" Making flashcards to study material like this is nothing new, but these days you don't have to deal with index cards and markers to make them. Quizlet is an online haven of study games and more than six million sets of flashcards, with subjects that range from German verbs to LSAT questions. The study material appears on virtual flashcards, with an option to have the content presented in the test-form or within a competitive game. If you don't see a flashcard set that you want, make your own by submitting the information you want to study. Quizlet CEO Dave Margulius says he and much of the Quizlet team in San Francisco have decided to learn Spanish together and often use the website's Speller tool. When using this tool, a voice says a vocabulary item without showing the word itself, and you must type the word you hear. For example, the voice might say, "bailar," which is Spanish for "dance," and then you type the word the best you can. If spelled correctly, you move to the next word, and if not, the screen shows the accurate spelling.
