Remembering words with Memory Triggers© like this makes learning, remembering and recalling words so much easier. This picture and Memory Trigger is taken from our Learn German - 200 Words a Day! software programme available for Windows by downoload or CD.
Notice the main characters of the MEMORY TRIGGER© picture are two smoking monkeys?
With all our lessons we teach you to remember the gender with the word, because this is very important in German language. In German nouns are either masculine, feminine, or neuter... and there is often no reason as to why! So if you have a way of remembering a noun's gender you will find this extremely useful - because the noun's gender in German not only affects the adjectives, it varies with the different CASES (that you will learn as you advance with your German language lessons).
Whenever you are trying to recall whether a German word is masculine or feminine or neuter, the answer lies in the Memory Trigger picture cartoon. To learn more about learning and remembering the gender of German nouns click on this link.
Remember also that scientists tell us that your brain never forgets a picture... and that every visual image you have seen in your life, is stored in it! The world's greatest computer hard disk is between your ears!
And when you have learned the Memory Trigger© picture, it is there, ever ready to 'pop'up into your head, when you need it! Or until you have used the word in conversation enough such that it is now indelibly stamped in your mind, and available at the tip of your tongue. This way words like das Kissen, the German for pillow (or cushion) become much easier to remember - IN FULL - GENDER and all.
Wherever possible, and where appropriate we use famous people in the Memory Trigger to assist recall because they are easier to remember.
They can either help us remember the word, by some association (Memory Trigger), or the gender(Gender Trigger), or both.
Of course, you may find that a particular person you know, may better remind you of a Memory Trigger. Use that person! This is more effective still! And you can record this in your own set of NOTES, which is stored in your own private database of your own NOTES, written as and when you want...
...and stored for your own future personal reference - whenever you want them. (If you ever want to refer to these notes of your own, you just click a button, to choose a lesson on it, or a test on them! i.e. custom-built to your own requirements).
We incorporate into the picture the German colours, that is the colours of the German flag - red, yellow and black. this helps remind you that the words are similar.
Remember - we will never give out your email address, and contact details to anybody else.
