Flashcard Friends is a free educational social network focused on creating, sharing and studying anything with online flashcards. You can copy existing flashcard decks and modify them to suit your needs. Include text pictures and sounds in your flashcards. You can even record right into the cards directly, which is ideal for learning languages. Then it generates tests and corrects your answers. Free to use, no advertisements, child-safe.

Teachers are getting their entire class on the site. Then they post flashcards for the class and the students can test themselves. Early studies show an increase of 12.3% percentage points on tests, more that a full grade better.

Some of the website’s functionality:

  • Create flashcards with text, pictures and sounds (ideal for foreign languages)
  • Four different learning modes: find one that fits you, or use them all
  • Automatically looks up definitions for you
  • Does automatic translation into a variety of languages
  • Auto-magically creates tests from the flashcards and then corrects them
  • Uses social networking to manage sharing card decks
  • Find existing flashcards by subject, school, teacher, book and more
  • Speak into your computer and add the recording to the cards instantly
  • Turns a spelling list into spelling flashcards with a spoken version of each word
  • Includes web 2.0 technologies like user ratings, bookmarking and tagging
  • …and much more
