Flashcard beginner help

Is there a correct way to do vocab flashcards ?

Like do I have the word in hirigana on the front try and remember the wod and then have the English word on the back or the other way around

Not sure what the proper way is

  1. I’d recommend making cards with the kanji you learn.

    Kanji on the front

    Furigana, Translation, picture and audio on the back

    Edit: as in, making vocab cards with kanji you know (just to preemptively clear some confusion). Also, Putting making your own note type with a word and sentence is also helpful if you want to switch down the line, and have your cards homogeneous

  2. it’s up to you but a kinda standard way is:

    Front: A Japanese word

    Back: The meaning of the word (English) and a sound which is someone saying the word. Also if the word has kanji the reading could be here, but I use hover-over furigana so in my case the reading is in the front of the card, just hidden unless I hover (which usually makes me mark the card wrong).

    Notes section: Any tricks to help you remember it can go here. The notes should only display on the back of the card, as well.
