How to memorize words

Another example on how to memorize words fast and forever.

 

When learning French you have lots of options to have fun when memorizing words.

 

The picture above illustrates an easy way to memorize a French word. It is called a link-word technique, a type of memorization method that can be used to learn any language, including French.

 

The idea of the link-word technique is how a French word is linked to an English word by using matching sounds between the words:

 

  • As you read the example, try to imagine as if you are exactly where the scenario is happening.
     
  • Retain the key words in your mind, which are the capitalized words, and retain the significant details.
     
  • Think about it several times and let it sink in until you can recall it without reading.

 

Example how to memorize words in French

 

  • English word = apple
     
  • French word = la pomme

 

Picture an APPLE reciting a POEM in front of your whole family.

 

Strangely but true: a picture of an apple poem or you reciting a poem in front of your family causes your mind to remember the words.

 

As you can see, the link memory method does not even have to be exact. Focus on the sounds created when pronouncing French words, for it is the key to the link word technique.
