The next link, the Pictorial Dictionary, takes you to the front page of that site. From there you should go to the Flashcards link and commit vocabulary listed there to memory. After that you can practice your new words with the fun activities found in the site.

• Start at the Flashcards link and review all the categories you find interesting. Just position the cursor on top of the picture and click on it, then take down the word. Use a note taking system, either your notebook or if you prefer, notepad or word in your computer. Make yourself a sort of dictionary; you could even copy and paste the pictures into your notes! Translate your understanding of the pictures, from the Spanish into English. It may also be helpful to draw the pictures into your notebook, that will help you remember. Always keep in mind that the more effort you put into learning the words, the easier it will be for you to recall them.

• Straight Recall will help you check your learning. You can check your notes from the Flashcards for the answers. Just remember the answers must be typed in Spanish! As you progress, repeat the exercises a number of times, referring less and less to your your notes. As you type the answers pay special attention to the spelling as it will become important for the other activities in the site. As you learn the spelling it will be very easy to complete other categories.

• In Fill in the Blank! you will find, at the bottom of the page two pull down menus. The first highlights the place within a word the missing letter is to be placed. The second pull down is directly below and offers you the category of words to select. Remember to play as you learn. You might want to mix the Flashcards and Straight Recall with this activity.
