These three for me are by far so difficult to remember.....especiallly membrane and livlihood. Livlihood makes no sese to me!

Someone I know remembered Membrane as "Flesh + Graveyard" means zombies coming out of the grave to eat your flesh and screaming MEM-BRAINNNNNNSSSSSS...

That one worked wonderfully for me. What I did was to create a very vivid image of a graveyard in my minds eye, which I filled up with little details. One detail in this particular case was to place a zombie there scuffling around whilst searching for 'MEM-BRAINNNNNNSSSSSS...'.

As far as livelyhood is concerned 'a gravekeeper is someone who makes his livelyhood out of peoples deadlyhood, spending all day tending to peoples graves'.

Livelyhood is pretty easy for me, because I personally hate the concept of working an everyday job to get by (a 9-5 or desk-job), so my story is:

"If I spent all day working for a livelihood, I'd end up in a grave earlier than I should"

Hah, I also use that zombie memmmbrraaannee story XD:::


As for livelyhood.. Have you ever seen corpse bride? I created a story based on this.

If you've seen corpse bride, you'd know that there's more livelyhood in days beneath the graveyard than up in the living world.

The world of the dead in Corpse Bride is full of jazzy song and dance, wild colors and personalities.... while the living world is a boring dull gray with stuck up folks.
If you see the film, you won't have trouble keeping the image for this kanji in mind.


My story is out there in public view, so if it helps, please use it! ^-^

Actually for membrane and livelihood I thought heisigs original stories worked quite well. 209 "Inter" wasn't great but it stuck eventually. I only found this site after I got to kanji 450 so it was a bit too late to get better stories for 1-500.
