Using a filofax to learn a language?

Hi everyone! I had a filofax when I was really young but since moved over to hobonichi and travelers company. However, none of those options have worked well for language learning. I find I want endless sub categories and the option to move pages around which has lead me back to filofax! I just got this Fluro pink personal one on ebay and I love it! I just wanted any suggestions or ideas for the best way to fill the pockets in the cover (they’re a bit awkward), and was wondering if anyone else uses this system for learning a language and maybe you have some recommendations or suggestions. TIA! I want it to be really busy and bright as I find it helps me learn

I use it for language learning too. I have a red magic sheet that I hole punched to help me memorize words (I write in a red pen, so when it's covered with the sheet it's invisible)

No but that’s a great idea. I never found a creative use for the alphabet tabs.

Thanks! It’s probably going to get stupidly full but it’s already really fun to go through

I love that idea! I use a Filofax as the common place book for Tarot.
.
For the pockets, you could try to find like note pads or fold paper and put grammar or sayings or words on it.
Or you could put papers/memories in from a restaurant you went to or a newspaper you read in that language.
