Oooh, this looks lovely, thank you for showing me this.
EDIT, hm he seems to be missing some obvious cognates, e.g.
>propio, own (adj.); proper (cognate). Proper in modern English no longer has the meaning "own", but this word in Spanish, propio, still retains it. if this knowledge is too uninteresting, use a mnemonic such as "A truly proper lady behaves in her own natural style."
wtf? What about just the English word "property" instead of this silly lady business?
- Apfel 4y agoThere's something to be said for using strange or even ridiculous mnemonics as a memory aid. I'd often come up with little stories to teach myself some of the more complex Chinese characters when I was learning quite intensively and found I never struggled to remember those words after doing so.
