Flashcard Exchange is an online flash card library where you can also create your own sets of flashcards. It is a web-based application, but it's free to use. You can create your own flash cards, or you can use any of the other sets publicly available which are sorted according to their key-word tags. You can visit my sample flash cart set and try it out. Make sure to check out the matching game feature too. It turns studying into a fun game that you can play on your own or with a partner.
SuperMemo is a multi-platform software system that uses flashcards to practice vocabulary, grammar, and any other topics in language learning or studying in general. SuperMemo.net, the online learning system is free and offers several options for language study. There are multiple courses available, including some for TOEFL preparation. You can also download SuperMemo for Windows, and create your own flashcards.
Another program, which works in much the same way, is Mnemosyne. Just like SuperMemo, you can create your own flashcards. As you review the cards, you can grade them depending on how well you remember them, and the program will calculate how soon you should review them next. This organized revision helps to move new information from short-term to long-term memory.
In my own language study, I've started to use a similar flash card program online called Reviewing the Kanji. Just like these other applications, the flash cards are organized according to how well I know them while being tested on them. In addition, Reviewing the Kanji also includes a forum where different users can submit mnemonics and 'stories' to assist in studying.
