How can I remember words in other languages?
As an example for remembering words in another language, let's look at studying Spanish: you see the word "to sing," which is "cantar." So you want to see what you can think of. You can think of a cantor, but a lot of people might not think of that. However, you can use your imagination and think of a can of tar, singing: can, tar, singing. You took the abstractness out of the word, and you've made it into a picture. Ok? Get the picture. So, you think of the word "bread" in Spanish; "pan" P-A-N. Can you see the bread is being baked in a pan? Pan - pan. It's about getting a little imagination going, and the images locked into your mind, and then instantly you know that singing is? What is it? Cantar, right? And then, bread? You can picture the pan: pan. You've got it. Remembering words in another language is all about getting images, and having fun learning.
