A few days ago in class we were talking about describing things. This lead me to a very common explanation people use when they talk about words.
When you want to remember words, it’s best to use pictures and ideas combined, not just the words.
We don’t ‘think’ in words. We think in images, flashes, feelings.
When someone says a word like ‘elephant’, you don’t think about those letters, but you see an elephant. That elephant may be different based on your idea of elephant though!
That’s okay, too.
Just remember to keep in mind images when you are explaining or need to explain things and to use them to help you remember, too.
