Hello Everyone,
I am not sure if this subject has been covered before.
Basically I don’t know if any of you could point me out to any resources on the internet where I could find lists of Japanese vocab ( nouns, adjectives, verbes) with next to it a mnemonic. to facilitate and speed up my learning of vocab.
I tend to quite a bad memory, but when learning the kanji’s here on Texfugu using the Mnemotechic approach it makes wonders for me ! so I am kind of looking for a similar approach to learn my vocab.
Any suggestions ? links someone of you might now about ? or tips to facilitate my learning of japanese vocab ?
Cheers,
Brian
My suggestion is come up with your own mnemonics – you’re much more likely to remember them that way. =)
On the other hand, a Google search for “Japanese vocab mnemonics” turns up plenty of results.
Definitely make your own. Like Joel said, they will be more effective, and the process by which the mnemonic is created will also reinforce it (kinda hard to describe what I mean by that). You’ll get quicker the more you do it, and most importantly, that will help with learning other things too.
Many thanks for your advice and feedback.
Hey Koala_Chan, I’ve actually found two great apps for iPhone (but it may be for android as well) that teach mnemonics through flash cards for Hiragana and Katakana. The Quizzes for the full alphebet, and a few cards are on the free ones, and the paid ones with all the kana are about $1.99 i think. They are super cheezy, but they do work. They helped me remember the few Hiragana that i kept forgetting (no matter how any times i looked at them on a regular chart!!), and they’re helping me remember Katakana pretty well too, which are harder for me to remember than Hiragana for some reason. Look it up in the iPhone app store or on GooglePlay, It’s called Dr. Moku’s Hiragana, and Dr. Moku’s Katakana.
