How to learn the countries of Europe
Choose the Europe region and a mode that includes capitals. You locate each highlighted country, then name its capital, and can add a flag round for a tougher challenge.
Europe packs many small countries close together, so work through it in clusters, the Nordics, the Balkans, the Baltics, and Western Europe, until you can place them all confidently.
Tips for European capitals and flags
Group the small, densely packed regions like the Balkans and the Baltics and study them together, since they are the most commonly mixed up.
Many European flags share red, white, and blue in different arrangements. Learning them next to their neighbors makes the differences easier to remember.
