Do you study vocabulary?

Do you think it helps to study vocabulary? I mean on its own, with special vocabulary notes that just ask what a word means.

Here's what I'm thinking:

  • For English, my native language, I'll learn anything important by seeing it multiple times.
  • For a second language, I can learn by using full-sentence cards that follow the vocabulary in my textbook so the same vocab is presented in a methodical way. Eventually this will be reinforced the same way as English.
  • For any technical jargon, I use a note with a context label and cards that go Front>Back and Back>Front.

So I'm not sure what would be the purpose of cards that use the grade school method of just asking the meaning of a word.

What are your thoughts?
