In This Lesson, You Learned:

Five of types of mnemonics you can use:

Acronym mnemonics: you might have learned ROYGBIV in school to memorize the colors of the rainbow, this is a great example of a spelling mnemonic.

Spelling mnemonics: this is when you create sentence to help you remember how to spell a word. For example: merci in French, this could be my energetic rabbit chews ice. It's best if you create these yourself to make them more memorable.

Order mnemonics: this is to help remember the order of something, like the planets or the notes of a music scale. "Every good boy deserves fun" is often used to help students remember the notes on the staff lines.

Rhyme mnemonics: An example of this is: thirty days have September, April, June and November...

Visual mnemonics: This is when you use a visual aid as a way to recall information and it's a very popular method used for language learning specifically.
