* Movies and TV Shows: If a word reminds you of a character, a scene, or a plotline from a movie or TV show, that's a fantastic association.
* Example: "Serendipity" might remind you of the movie "Serendipity" with John Cusack and Kate Beckinsale.
* Music: Songs with memorable lyrics, catchy tunes, or even just the name of a band can help you remember a word.
* Example: "Ephemeral" might remind you of the song "Ephemeral" by the band "The Paper Kites."
* Books: The title of a book, a character, or even a particular scene can provide a strong link to a word.
* Example: "Fortuitous" might remind you of the book "The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time" where a character experiences a series of fortuitous events.
* Memes: Current memes can be incredibly memorable and help you connect with the word.
* Example: "Yeet" might remind you of the popular meme involving people throwing things with force and shouting "Yeet!"
* Internet Culture: Online trends, popular hashtags, or even viral videos can help you remember a word.
* Example: "Lit" might remind you of its use in online slang.
Tips for Making Associations:
* Be Creative: Don't be afraid to think outside the box. The more unique the association, the more likely you are to remember it.
* Make it Personal: Choose examples that are meaningful to you. This will make the association stronger and more memorable.
* Use Multiple Associations: If you can link a word to multiple things from popular culture, you'll increase your chances of remembering it.
* Practice: The more you use these associations, the easier it will be to recall the words.
