Mnemonic

A mnemonic is a short, deliberately ridiculous scene, built to be hard to forget. Who appears in it and where it takes place are how the pronunciation is stored; the objects in it stand for the parts the character is written with. That is the Marilyn Method, and the comic below is the same scene, drawn.

Mnemonic symbol: a luxurious golden cage.

Frankenstein’s Monster (f) has been locked in a golden cage (mnemonic symbol for 丰) in front of the engine ((e)ng1). The golden cage is suspended from a coordinate system (三). In the cage there are still the dinosaur bones (丨) from the previous prisoners.

Comments

I gave it several tries to have three arrows from the coordinate system in the picture, no luck. This is the best I could get out of ChatGPT, but I guess it's good enough to get all the elements in the comic.

How to pronounce 丰

MandarinBanana teaches pronunciation with the Marilyn Method: every Pinyin syllable is one initial plus one final, the initial becomes a person, an animal or a deity, and the final becomes a place in your memory palace — with the tone deciding which part of that place the scene happens in. Remember the little story below for each half and the whole syllable comes back with them.

= f initial

F is for Frankenstein’s Monster.

丰 character breakdown

Chinese characters are built out of smaller characters. Each component carries a mnemonic symbol - one concrete object that stands in for it - and a mnemonic story hands those objects to the person and the place that stand for the pronunciation. Learn a component once and every character that reuses it gets easier.
