Learning Foreign Vocabulary - Memory Links
Have you ever wondered how 'marvo the memory man' manages to remember
everything that he does. Well using a simple memory trick it is possible to remember
words, places, people - and you are just about to learn how it is done!
You need to think of something outrageous and then link it to the
word you are trying to remember.
Try this:
Lets assume that you are trying to remember that the French
for 'piece' is 'morceau'.
Think of a large cake, with lots of icing and decorations -
then notice that a piece of the case has been cut out and has been eaten. Then
think of a hungry child begging for a small morsel (piece - morceau) of cake.
Now keep that image in your head - you have all you need to link the word 'piece'
to 'morceau'
