This is how I learned my core vocabulary. Little pieces of paper with English word on one side and my Mother language equivalent on the other.
You can shuffle them, discard ones that you learned quickly, carry-over the difficult ones to the next week batch. Great system. I had about 50 new ones every week.
For sentences I had slightly bigger cards. They were not difficult - they only used words that I already knew. And I did not have to memorize the content of sentence - I needed just to translate it correctly from the different-language equivalent on the other side.
