My 9th grade Spanish teacher taught us how to remember how to say who/what/when/where/why in Spanish by putting it to the tune of Jingle Bells. To this day that’s the only thing I remember from Spanish class, so yes I can confidently confirm that they work:
🎵 Por qué, why,
Quando, when,
Qué, what; donde, where.
Cuantos, how much; cómo, how,
Quien está, who is there?
Cuál! 🎵
🎵 Por qué, why,
Quando, when,
Qué, what; donde, where.
Cuantos, how much; cómo, how,
Quien está, who is there?
Which! 🎵
Depends on the mnemonic. It has to flow and you have to know the steps individually. Although there was one time I spent so long trying to come up with a good mnemonic for the citric acid cycle that I just learned it and gave up.
Do these mnemonics actually help?
Well I still remember Roy G. Biv and Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally so maybe?
