“The Linkword method is probably the best way to begin learning a foreign language as it teaches a method of remembering which you can take with you through any further courses that you go through. In itself it is far from comprehensive but it’s a good primer to take the fear away from future challenges. Showing you that you are good at remembering really encourages you for your future in language learning. It has been about 3 months since I read this book and my German has accelerated as never before. By contrast, I felt that in school we were not taught any method for remembering, rather we were only taught that you simply must remember otherwise you were “of lower ability.” The methods to deal with genders of nouns has been a real help for me, if English is your first language the element of non organic objects having a gender in linguistics feels cumbersome, its necessity is lost on us. ”
