And for our memory tip today, we will be talking about the keyword method mnemonic.

The keyword method mnemonic is a strategy used to remember unfamiliar words, names or terms by linking them to familiar words that sound similar to the new word.

You would then form a vivid mental image, story or sentence connecting the key word with the actual definition.

And by creating a visual and sound bridge, this strengthens recall along with speed.

This method is highly effective for foreign language and complex words or terms.

And a simple example could be to remember the Spanish word for duck, which is pato, which is spelt P-A-T-O.

The key word could be pot, and you could visualise a duck swimming around in your cooking pot on your oven.
