Memory tip (Sound plus meaning): Steps: hear the new word → find a sound-alike word → link it to the meaning → review the picture. The keyword sounds like the new word; the picture must also show the meaning: billi = cat → “a cat paying a BILL”. Review the picture later today and tomorrow, then with growing gaps.
