Just an update on my own message. I had my notes organized and published. Details about
the book "Learning Spanish Words Through Etymology and Mnemonics" are here: http://yong321.freeshell.org/lsw/ Basically, I categorize vocabulary study methods into two groups: word analysis and rote memory. Within the first one, there are etymology and mnemonics. For an English speaking person, fortunately, Spanish vocabulary can make use of both about 50% each (unlike say Arabic or Chinese, where most words have to rely on mnemonics if you don't like rote memory). What I propose is a combination approach: try etymology first, then mnemonics if etymology is insufficient. Any critique or corrections are very welcome. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Just a heads up that you might want to post this on
www.forum.language-learners.org as well. Of course this site is still in use but due to various technical issues an alternative forum was set up and is a lot more active than this one. 2 persons have voted this message useful |
