Let’s learn the easiest way to learn foreign vocabulary quickly. These ideas will be useful to the student in remembering the words and phrases that you choose to learn. I have chosen ten words in French for this exercise.

Peg the mental link phrases onto a list. Your house list is best for most student applications, but since I don’t know your list I’ll use the tree list. The story would go something like this:

Tree - I see myself watering a tree and sticking the hose halfway down my throat saying, “Oh, am I thirsty for water. The word is eau.”

Light switch - When that mean hombre turned on the light switch, I stabbed him with my switch blade. Man is homme.

Stool - I see John the Baptist smashing an expensive oil painting down onto a stool. Art - John. It’s argent.

Car - Bobby Bonkers crashes his car into the bank and goes bonkers and bonks the teller on the head. Bonk, the word is banque.

Glove - I slap the taxi cab driver across the mouth. “Neigh like a horse, Cabbie.” He shakes his head and says, “Nay.” The word is cabby nay. Cabinet.
