Collaborative flashcard sets are the only thing that is worth it.

I checked one Tatoeba collection { as Oisin pointed out};
3 out of 10 were seriously flawed - as shown below.
My train left at six and arrived at
ten.<http://tatoeba.org/eng/sentences/show/251224>
Мой поезд выходит в шесть и прибывает туда в
десять.<http://tatoeba.org/eng/sentences/show/424622>
{grammar error}.
Only ten people showed up for the
party.<http://tatoeba.org/eng/sentences/show/50045>
На вечеринке показалось всего десять
человек.<http://tatoeba.org/eng/sentences/show/424999>
Wrong word and wrong sentence structure.
It would be good to call us on
Saturday.<http://tatoeba.org/eng/sentences/show/407929>
Было бы хорошо позвонить нам в
воскресенье.<http://tatoeba.org/eng/sentences/show/425198>It is a literal
trans'n; wrong sentence structure; absolutely unusable.
SO, if you learn thes set - you are in trouble.
But equally important point ( to make cards ) is:
Using some one's sentences is an extra hurdle for me - I MUST use my own
phrases bcs that is what pops up in my head { when I stumble during
conversation}.
There are 3 posts where people lament "I could not recall the WORD in
real life. Reasons:
1.Dont memorize a naked word - use collocations.
2.Collocations must be from your native Active vocabulary.
3.Use PAO -the technique of memory champions.

As a side note, flipping Front-Back card {to learn language} is bad idea
30% {my stats} of the time. Because :-) the translation on the Back is
terse & worded to suit the Front word.
You have to write a new card to learn how to say 'this' in forein lang;
and, again, it must be structured to be 100% 'natural' to you.
Good day.
