What are your mnemonic examples?
I know that mnemonics are often a short-term crutch to keep words accessible until they've been internalized somehow. From that point one doesn't need the mnemonic tool anymore, and it will have a tendancy to fade away. But they can be quite useful in "stacking" words into the mind. For me German has a lot of prefixes and I've used a visualisation technique to manage some words by their first apparent morpheme. Here is an example for all those words that start with be- I use Bruce Lee... 
When they don't stick, I use a little film in my head or act them out :) What do you use and how do you use it? Edited by zenmonkey on 31 January 2012 at 2:04pm 4 persons have voted this message useful | |

Learning with mnemonics can be fun. I started to learn German using this method a few years back. The program I learned from was "Unforgettable Languages". I can still remember the mnemonic for "potato" which was a cart full of potatoes ("kartoffel").
I found this site http://www.200words-a-day.com/ which also teaches you how to learn words by using mnemonics. Unfortunately, this program is mostly for basic words and I have progressed beyond this stage for Korean. It might be a good introduction for beginners in Korean as it gives them a relatively enjoyable and painless way of getting started. I tried "Unforgettable Languages" for Korean but that program taught the wrong pronunciation of words so I don't think this program is good for Korean learners. I was mispronouncing words like "room" using this program - I was saying "bang" as in "Bang! Bang!" instead of "Bahng". Also, there weren't near enough words in that program. I don't know if the "200 words a day" program mispronounces words in Korean like "Unforgettable Languages". 1 person has voted this message useful |
