How to learn the words easily

Hi, here is a really easy and effective technique to learn foreign words.
The technique based on the mind control(Silva method). There are lots of words, which you can connect to something. For example: "pen" is "pluma" in Spanish. So you have to connect these two words somehow.

a.) pen - pluma
Step 1: Close your eyes
Step 2: Breath deaply few times and relax a bit(you should do this when you start the learning but of course you can repeat this anytime)
Step 3: Imagine the English word, now it's "pen".
Step 4: Now we just need to find something in the foreign word. "Pluma", just forget about the "a" and that's it! It's the "plum" the fruit.
Step 5: Here is the final step, imagine the two words in one picture. For example: the pen is stabbed through the plum or anything else, which is the most suitable for you.
b.) duck - pato
Step 1 and 2: Are the same as before.
Step 3: Imagine the English word, now it's "duck" It's really important how you imagine it. Just think about it and check these images. duck 1 , duck 2(psy duck from Pokemon). Which is the one that you can remember more easily? I bet the second one:)!
Step 4: Same as before. Pato, minus "o" and add an "h". "Path".
Step 5: Combine them. Check these pictures and choose one if you need it.


The first 5-10 words might be a bit odd to learn in this way(it will be easier and more natural if you practice it daily) but if you do it as I said, you simply can't forget these words.
