Mnemonics.

For example, let's say you want to remember the French word "chou," which means "cabbage" in English.

例如你想背的法文語詞「chou」，在英文是「高麗菜」的意思。

"Chou" is pronounced like "shoe" in English, so you could imagine putting cabbages on your feet instead of shoes.

「Chou」的發音很像英文的「shoe」，所以你可以想像高麗菜取代你的鞋子穿在你的腳上。

Then, when you need to remember "cabbage," your brain will think "cabbage; shoes; chou."

然後，當你在背「cabbage」時你的大腦就會想到「cabbage 高麗菜（英）> shoes 鞋子 > chou 高麗菜（法）」。
