Vocab mnemonics - scottamus - 2006-07-25
Does anyone have a significant list of mnemonics for Japanese Vocab? I have seen a few here and there and have made many of my own but with the exception of the book below I can't find a significant source. I almost want to write my own book. Mnemonics should be used for everything! Why aren't people doing this?
Examples:

the first one I ever heard was
[kana]doitashimashite[/kana] = Don'ta toucha your moustache. (italian accent)

No I just saw it today. It's only ten bux and it has decent reviews so I will probably go ahead and grab it.

The linkword method is my favorite. Haven't tried this site, but it looks good:

This book has tons of mnemonic info in it:

Of course, the old standby:
