But is there any way to make that input into the excel file any easier or less time

I agree, pictures can be time-consuming. But if you create a huge-set of pictures initially (time-consuming), the collection can be re-used for other languages (saving time). A big part of thinking in the target language is to avoid translation. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I did this and had several thousand flashcards and then my computer crashed. Save these on a thumbdrive! 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Hm, I'm not sure it's a good idea. I know I would want to use different photos to illustrate the word clothes in Swedish, Spanish and Indonesian :P
And the idea that by using pictures you avoid translating and think in the language is too simplified. First of all, what prevents you from thinking in your native language as you look at the picture? Absolutely nothing. Even more importantly, there's a difference between doing translation exercises and using dictionaries and/or premade translations. If anything can harm your ability to think in the language, it's mostly translating things yourself, and mostly when you [have enough time to] think up an entire sentence in your L1 and then translate it. 1 person has voted this message useful |
