So I came up with this awesome idea while day dreaming and studying Italian in English class. (Ironic huh?) [Don't worry, we had a substitute and no assignments :)]
I call it Tagging. It's a form of association, except you hook a word to a person you see daily, like classmates, teachers, etc. I originally came up with it while learning directions in Italian. I looked at my right hand and said "a destra" and then looked at my left and said "a sinistra." After that, I figured... why not involve people? A girl got up and blew her nose (You know, cold and flu season ;)) So I figured I would attach that idiom to her. Every day you could have a new one everyday for another person. It can be based on actions, descriptions, posessions, or destinations. It can even work for grammar. Simple things like a girl walking down the hallway carrying a book can be "That is her book. She has a book. etc" I going to try this out for real tomorrow, and I'll post everything that I experience. I can picture it working really well. Some things I've thought of so far. -Pick out a select group of people (15-20 classmates, or more) -Associate one word or phrase to that person a day, and repeat them everytime you see them. -The next day, repeat the previous word or phrase, and add a new one. I think it will really work if you associate the word with something they carry every day like a watch or purse or whatever. I'm going to see how far this can take me. Any views or opinions, discuss them! :D [Moderators, sorry I posted this here, but I figured it would receive more attention in the General discussion] 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||||||||

That's a good idea.I'm gonna have to start doing that, learning by association has always worked amazing for me.

:D It's working great so far. I hooked an idiom for one my teachers. ponerse difícil (to get difficult) Because his class is getting difficult :D

When I first saw this thread, I thought "tagging" as in graffiti for some reason. Maybe spray painting things is also a good way to practice? Not recommendable though. Edited by Johntm on 11 March 2010 at 5:56am 1 person has voted this message useful | |||||||||

I was told it was "se pone difícil" reflexive because the class ITSELF is getting difficult :D Spray painting things is probably illegal :P 1 person has voted this message useful | |||||||||

Edit: Oh, and don't worry about daydreaming about languages in English. I do it in most classes, even English. Edited by Johntm on 13 March 2010 at 4:39am 1 person has voted this message useful | |||||||||
