Today I read three new Japanese words. But how do I remember them?
Japanese - English
man - (not man but 10,000 - think of ten thousand Japanese men - only one steps forward and takes 10.000 steps)
po - steps - P like pedicure, foot
kei - meter - (kay looks like key - the key to measuring)
English - Japanese
meter - kei
steps - po
10,000 ten thousand - man
Keep saying new words three times, every hour today and for a week and then write it in your diary and look at it on your daily commute. (Like a gym or aqua class instructor shouting at you to repeat: " One, two, three - last time!" - shout at yourself.)
