Flags by Continent ยท Level 4

Flags of Africa

Africa has more countries than any other continent, so this is the longest deck: 54 flags. Many of them go back to Ethiopiaโ€™s green, yellow and red, the pan-African colours that Ghana took up at independence in 1957 and many new states adopted after it. That shared palette causes the classic traps. Guinea and Mali are mirror images, and Senegal is Mali plus a green star. Other flags are hard to miss, like Kenyaโ€™s Maasai shield, Ugandaโ€™s crested crane and the six colours of South Africa.

How to study this set

Group the green-yellow-red flags and learn them by stripe direction and order first, emblem second: vertical for Guinea, Mali, Senegal and Cameroon, horizontal for Ethiopia and Ghana. Then face the look-alikes from other continents directly, Chad against Romania and Cรดte dโ€™Ivoire against Ireland.

What to learn next

One level is left, โ€œFlags of Oceaniaโ€. It is the shortest deck with 14 flags, but the Southern Cross and the Union Jack appear often enough to make it harder than it looks.
