List Your Mnemonics

In Uncategorized by Skritter

author photoNew page is up: this one is just a list of all the mnemonics you’ve made. A lot of you have asked for this so that you can just generally keep track of things, or go back and edit old mnemonics’ formatting.

The cool thing about it for me is seeing which of my public mnemonics are getting points. Apparently my coolest mnemonic is the one for 晚 wǎn (evening): “Evening is when the sun is removed”, with 8 points. Huh; I didn’t even think too much of that one at the time. But I thought for sure that my mnemonic for 催 cuī (to urge; to hurry), “Hurry, man, that mountain is going to fall on that bird!” was so great! Apparently not, with only one point.

Not much to this page (and the similar starred words page), but they should come in handy. You can get to this one from the Vocabulary Tools area. Remember to click on the characters to get to more info via the new word popup.
