Zany Mnemonic Devices
1. I am a roo, I apologize.
2. Was a toe, on purpose
3. Koto was a proverb.
4. Now a rope.
Zさん:"I tried to create clever mnemonic devices by saying a Japanese word followed by its English translation, but the end result was chinpunkan gibberish."
Z-san explains: "I am a roo: 謝る。Was a toe: わざと。Koto was a:ことわざ。Now a:縄。"
