Flashcard Wizard is a powerful flashcard study environment. Besides the ability to practice flashcards with 2 or 3 fields of information, these fields may include pictures and non-roman text for language study.

Flashcard Wizards most unique and useful functions, however, come from its "Interval Study" features. Interval study helps you in review of your material by choosing only those words for review which are likely to be soon forgotten.

Foundation Stone helps you learn the Hebrew language and vocabulary with its complete tutorial and learning interface.

By recording which words you are getting wrong and reviewing those words more frequently, the program adapts your program of study to your individual needs.

Contrast this to the standard method of learning using lists of words on paper - the words you already know get the same attention as words you dont.

Words can be reviewed from English to Hebrew or Hebrew to English, and reviewed in random order so you are not remembering them from their position in the list. Statistics are provided and allow you to set personal goals for each session.
