腺
How to pronounce 腺
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.
腺 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.

gland
Yes, the mnemonic is ChatGPT (version 5) - it's weird and at first I didn't want to use it, but the weird elements in this story somehow make it a lot more memorable. At least for me.
Prompt: create a short and funny story with three to five sentences containing the following elements:
- Xi Shi
- A gland
- A hot water spring
- A bathroom in an anthill
- The moon
