There are lots of neat things about the book, and one of them is .... he helps you to remember long and rambling Greek words by weaving a story around them .... so I thought I could entertain you by doing the same thing for some Spanish words ..
I know, you can't wait ...so here's one ...
As I awoke, still half in dreamland, I could just make out hundreds of letter v's all whizzing around. In the midst of them all sat a young woman working at a loom ..and she was weaving a bra ! I only had an inkling of it all though.
Yes ... it's v's - loom - bra .... vislumbrar .... to just make something out, to have an inkling
There ... you'll never forget that now... you're stuck with that silly story in your mind.
Got the idea .. right ...here's another one ....
The gardener was busy sweeping dead leaves and rubbish, and he thought "Oh, I wonder if my employer has a jar I could put them all, so he thought, I'll go and ask her.
oh-jar-ask-her .. hojarasca ... dead leaves , rubbish.
It's amazing isn't it .... so we'll have another just in case you're still wondering what the hell is going on ... here we go ...
Ted was amazed to discover that in order to gain admission to the local brothel he had to pass a sort of "test" ... he was given a long stick with a wire loop on the end, and out in the car park were lots of R's hanging from branches and lamp-posts. In order to get in, he had to loop an "R" ....
Yes folks .... loop-an-R .... lupanar ... a slang word for a brothel.
How I knew that, I'm not sure.
So ... it would be good if you made up things like that to help you remember those odd ,peculiar and hard-to remember words.
If you think up any good ones, you could bung them on here as a comment..and then I could put them in another thingy like this one.
And while you're mulling over all that, here's another of those LOL words videos which are so educational to sing along to a few times ... of course, it will be going onto my famous collection of LOL words videos......
