This is a memory technique used to help you associate two things, such as an English word and a Chinese word, or a face with a name.

Here's how it works:

  1. Pick a good keyword that will remind you of the word you want to learn. You're going to be making a mental image, so pick something you can easily visualize in your mind. For example, if you're trying to learn the Spanish word "carta" (letter), your keyword could be "cart." If you're trying to learn that the person with the big nose is named George, your keyword could be gorge or nose.
  2. Make a vivid mental image of the two things combined, using the keyword as the main image. For example, you could picture a letter sitting in a cart to remember that "Carta" means "Letter." You could picture George's face with his big nose hanging over a gorge; or a giant nose running into George.
When this method is not a good idea:

if you're trying to learn to produce a word upon command, this method won't help. In other words, it will remind you that "carta" means "letter," but it won't help if someone asks you "What's the Spanish word for 'letter?'"
