Our flash cards are a great way of testing if you've learned the meanings of the words in this section. Look at the words below and see if you can remember what each of them means.

If you get stuck, press "mnemonic" to show an image that should help you remember.

To check if you're right, or remind you if you've forgotten, press the card to flip it.
