Why did I add 'Brazil' to this card? Writing in reminders, pictures and sentences makes learning easier by connecting new knowledge to old knowledge. Learning is not like putting a bunch of books on a shelf. Learning is like a jigsaw puzzle. All knowledge is built off of connections to prior knowledge. If you already know the characters 巴 and西 like I do, I recommend you instead write something like

F: 巴西meaning

B: Bāxī Brazil

F: 巴西pinyin

B: Bāxī Brazil

In addition to these 2 or 3 flashcards, add 2-3 of the following flashcards,

F: 巴西人很好。
