Memorizing Techniques Tips Some days ago I had to memorize the word "shed" and its meaning. The word sounded like "shadow" to me and in the context it was used to mean a small hut built to provide shelter for a horse; thus, I imagined a small log house with a shadow of a big horse casted on its wall. It worked! I could immediately memorize the word.

Your vocabulary is great! I just added a few commas to make it easier to read.  I will have to try this with Italian words.

There is no need to add "ed" to "cast". The sun cast its shadow on the wall. The die is cast. Immediate memorization is not really the issue. You now have an image that you will maintain of the shadow on the shed. Notice that when you use "shed" as a verb, you can write that an added piece of information could "shed light" on an issue. The data from the research shed light on learning techniques.
