25 cmavo

These memory cues correspond to 25 cmavo which can be found in Quizlet here.


If you can visualize the cue, you should be able to easily get 100% on the quizlet. Simply read through my cues, and visualize an image in your brain that locks it in.

Note, I use "h" for apostrophe a lot, and I use phonetic lojban pronunciations to generate my cues.
