Yeah, I've started using flashcards to learn vocabulary. The best site is for flashcard learning I've found is http://www.japanese-flashcards.com/links.php (it has links to other languages besides Japanese, so check out that page).
But yeah, flashcards combined with memory/association techniques are an efficient way to learn vocabulary fast.

Over time I've found the best method for myself to digest Mandarin at a reasonable speed.
I found it impossible to learn individual words by repetition alone or to process word lists as some people do.
I instead learn words quickly within sentences I already know and I enter these sentences into the Anki flash card program. After much practice I learned to quickly cut up the audio files which accompany my courses using the Audacity audio program.
I can easily enter about 100 - 200 sentences with characters, pinyin, translations and add the audio in a 5 hours sitting or less.
I then sync all the material to the Anki program on my iPod touch, learn it during long walks and then keep adding material.
Using Anki on the iPod, I can learn the sentences by shadowing them, practice my reading skills and at the touch of the screen, keep repeating the audio until I understand it without thinking.
Hope that helps.
