What's your favourite mnemonic

pprendeville   January 30th, 2013 7:01a.m.

Have a few but liked this one for 伦 by priestling75: A *person*, another *person*, and a *spoon*. What a weird *RELATIONSHIP*.

Also love the one for 淹 by michau. Just had to read this one once and it was in the memory bank: A *big* man got an *electric* shock in the *water* and _drowned_.

There are so many great ones but the one that have enabled me to learn a character the fastest is Nicks "King White Rock loves green jade". This is for 雪碧(sprite)的碧. Learn that one on first try and is solid in memory still.

Add to this the mnemonic for dim witted 呆 by wispfrog: The *DIM-WITTED* *mouth* waits at the top of the *tree* instead of the bottom for the fruit...

Like this one by skritter's very own Nick (敕): Imperial edicts are enforced by tying people up and striking them.

I like my King White Rock one, but I gotta say, I don't even remember the imperial edicts one. (Maybe I haven't seen that character in forever because it worked so well at first...?)

This one is my favorite: 教: "_education_ is an *old man beating a child* with a stick", by jww1066.
