Carpa

What’s a lesson you’ve learned recently that shifted your perspective?

I recently learned the Spanish Word for “Tent”is Carpa. I used to think I was no good at forming mnemonics.

Immediately on hearing and seeing the word Carpa  though; an image popped into my head of a large fish tent with scales and eyes in the shape of a Carp secured to the ground with tent pegs

So the Spanish word for tent is now emblazoned in my head.

Namaste and Thank You for Reading.🙏

    That is a clever one. It is amazing how the mind remembers the strangest images far better than plain memorization.
