Memory Aids For Learning Languages Including Hebrew

The free language learning website Memrise uses mnemonics to help you learn vocabulary. I looked up mnemonics in Wikipedia and was especially interested in their sections on languages and spelling.























Esperanto flag.

Esperanto
Regarding languages, Esperanto is a language which follows rules with no exceptions, and looks a bit like Spanish.

A rival but less popular language takes words which are common to many languages.

One way of making memory aids (called mnemonics) is to create a memorable dramatic visual sentence linking the word in Eglish (or your native language) with the word you wish to learn in the news language.

Israel flag.


Hebrew Examples:
..................
Oh hell, What is in
 my tent.

Ohel is Hebrew for tent.

What a beautiful building. I would like to buy it.
Hebrew for building is beit.

If you use Memrise which is free you can save your own memory aids and see suggestions from other learners.
