Let’s have some fun. Here are five useful and common Spanish words. We’ll memorize them now, and you can see how permanently they stick, by testing yourself again tomorrow morning. Or next week.

Please do carry out this exercise. It’s the best way to experience if this method is for you or not. It might well change the way you learn things forever!

If you already know these five words please go and find five other useful words, which are in the most common 300 or 1,000, which you would like to remember permanently. Do it before you read the rest of this chapter, then come back and follow the instructions.

For the following five words, I will lead you through the memorization technique, as explained in the previous chapter. I will also give you some images.

Just before we begin, remember that the best images are ones that leapt to your own mind. Ones that you thought of yourself. They simply stay stronger and longer. But the ones I give you will work just fine. Also remember that if you can enhance the image at all, please do so. If you can make an image bigger, brighter, louder, sexier, more strange, violent or distinct in any way, then your memory will hold onto it more strongly.

Ok, let’s begin. You five words are:

Mano = Hand

Casa = Home

Primero = First

Desayuno = Breakfast

Porque = Because

We’ll memorize each in turn. Read the first word a few times. ‘Mano’, which means ‘Hand’. Hear the sound, roll it around your mouth, enjoy it. Quickly look it up on Google Images for that extra visual kick. Now, what does ‘Mano’ sound like in English words or noises?

I break it into two sounds, ‘man’ and ‘o’. So I want to find an image that represents each of these sounds.

‘Man’ is easy. I will use an image of a man. Often the first part of a word is enough for you to remember the whole word, but for this exercise let’s do each part of the word. So now I need an image for ‘o’.

For myself, I imagine someone shouting ‘Ooooh!’ in surprise. Their mouth is a big ‘O’ of surprise.

So, now I want to combine these images, with the word ‘Hand’ in my mind. So I am going to picture my hand becoming Giant. A huge hand (remember, always make your images strange and over the top). With my giant hand I am scooping a man in a suit up off the street. So he is standing on my hand, trying to keep his balance. He’s shouting ‘Ooooh!’ in surprise! His mouth is a huge over-the-top ‘O’ of surprise.

Close your eyes for a second and picture this strange image in your own mind. Add in sounds, smells, emotions if you can. Got it? Ok, next word.

Casa = Home

Again, read the word a few times. Look it up in Google Images. Think of any times you have heard it before. For example, the expression ‘Mi Casa Es Tu Casa’ (My Home is Your Home) is very common.
