keyword method  

Definition

  • A mnemonic aid for learning unfamiliar vocabulary, especially foreign language vocabulary. The method starts by associating the foreign word with a word from the native language (the keyword) with a close pronunciation (at least for part of the foreign word), and then creates a visual image associating the keyword with the translation of the foreign word.
