As Oisín points out one way is better for some things while the other way is better suited for other things...
Personally I find it very easy to recognize, while it is much harder to produce a sentence from the english version... You will quickly learn to recognize parts of your questions and that way you probably won't remember the rest of it if you were to produce the sentence yourself. However recognision is good for getting gramma points and learn words in context you already have seen before. 2010/1/11 Oisín <[email protected]> > > > 2010/1/10 Charles Berghofer <[email protected]> > > Hi, >> >> I have a question about vice-versa cards.
