Russian Case Examples - Set 1

Front 1

Any questions: [e-mail] The target language image is a visual representation of what the word sounds like to YOU in your source language. The source image is what the source word means to YOU. Combine the images to memorize the translation. The funnier, vivid and emotional the image the better. Usually the first images that comes to mind are best. My images may not have meaning to you. It is best to make your own.

Back 1

Any questions: [e-mail] Spaced repetition technique: – Do this set four times on first day (two hour break between each attempt); then once a day for a week; then one time a week later; then once the next month. Adjust frequency so that recalling is always easy. You should put the set aside for a few days before starting level 4. Visit language coaching at http://www.russianpath.com

Hint 1

Any questions: [e-mail] Hints are a few words or a picture to help you recall the visual images you created. The funnier, vivid and emotional the image the better. Usually the first images that comes to mind are best. Keep the sets around 75 words. Longer sets overwhelm.
