Associating strategy

The strategy consist on stablish relation with words in Spanish and English, they are called cognates, this is very important because you can identify words and probably to have a general idea about the reading.

“This memory strategy involves associating new language information with familiar concepts already in memory” (1, p. 60). I have used tricks like this for myself for years, like the "I'm a genie” trick to remember how to spell imagine (im-a-gin-e) and corazón (Spanish for heart) is the core of a person. "The associations can be simple or complex, mundane or strange, but they must be meaningful to the learner" (1, p. 41).
