Hello all. I learn vocab and such really well when there is some simple mnemonics to use. Its why I can power through 30 or 40 wanikani items that are new and, over a few days, get to where I can remember them well. For vocab with genki though, I just suck at the memorization. More specifically, anki items are really hard for me to remember. The best I can do normally is see a new item and then write it down like 10 or so times, then I get it wrong the next like 3 or so days. Its really hard for me to memorize. Even in that day, after writing it down a bunch of times it takes me like 5 or 6 tries at the new cards to get them correct with to any proficiency that would make me feel ok at pressing the “good” button.
Are there any genki book mnemonic decks that anyone has made? If not I think I’m going to make mnemonics for each vocab item in genki I come across because frankly, I think I will still learn it faster and in a more permanent way that way…

You and me are both in the same boat. I tried creating my own mnemonics with new words. Some are easier to create then others though.
ooh i was literally thinking about this yesterday! Maybe we can start a google doc to collect mnemonics, i have quite a few
the renshuu app also includes community mnemonics, but not specific to genki
