Using Mnemonics to Retain Vocabulary Items

by Inga Jablonsky on 01/03/12

Using Mnemonics to Retain Vocabulary Items
Have you ever used a game, rhyme, or image to remember a hard to learn concept? These mnemonic techniques help us to remember a difficult concept or phrase.
-
There are some very famous ones that many people apply, for example: remembering which months have 30 days and which months have 31 days by the rhyming sequence “30 days has September, April, June and November." Another mnemonic technique is to make a word or a sentence with similar initial letters, like the popular: “Richard of York gave battle in vain” (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet) to remember the order of the color spectrum.
-
The same concept can be used to your advantage in language learning. Every learner is different, however. Try to be creative and come up with your own mnemonics for words or concepts that you struggle with. You will end up learning them and also have fun in the process!
