Story
LOSEN
For example the German losen is not lose but solve. How do I remember? German lose a problem - they solve it. The first three letters of the German word LOSen and the start of the English word SOLve.
Beachten is German for consider. So I recall beaChteN means CoNsider. Con or even CN will remind me.
