Red Plastic Sheet Study Tool [0:00]
Japanese students utilize a red plastic sheet as an effective study aid. Many Japanese textbooks feature questions in black ink and answers in red. By placing the red plastic sheet over the text, the red ink of the answers blends in and becomes invisible. This allows students to quiz themselves on the material. They can read the question, attempt to recall the answer, and then lift the sheet to immediately check their response. This method provides a convenient way for students to practice and test their knowledge independently, without relying on someone else to quiz them.
