World Capitals
With the famous capitals behind you, it is time to fill in the map. This set moves beyond the household names to more than twenty countries drawn from every inhabited region — the Iberian and Nordic corners of Europe, South-East Asia and the Gulf, West and North Africa, and the length of South America. Some you will know instantly; others, like Lima, Hanoi or Accra, are exactly the ones that separate a casual guesser from someone who really knows their world capitals.

Work region by region and say the country and capital together out loud — the pairing lodges in memory more firmly than reading silently. When a capital is unfamiliar, look it up on a map once so you have a location to hang the name on. Trust the spaced-repetition schedule: the cards you keep missing will come back sooner until they stick.
