Learning a foreign language can be an ideal situation for using mnemonic devices. Often, there are long lists of new vocabulary terms to memorize. The key to memorizing the vocabulary is to associate the English meaning with an English word that sounds like the pernounciation of the foreign word. For example, the Danish word for yellow is gul. You can think of a sea gull, which is a bird. Birds have yellow beaks.
