Remembering English words by using Pokemon series I usually say that our brains are like hard disks which can store an incredible amount of information, but it is not always that easy to access all these informations. Given this, we have to build strategies in order to access all that amount of information, and one of the best strategies to do it is by associating English words and espressions with movies, characters, TV series and whatever else you can imagine. I am pretty sure that many of you have grown up watching the Pokemon series and the name of many of the pokemons is still fresh in your minds. So, why not using some of those names for learning purposes, since the names of pokemons in the western world are related to English words? It is very easy to remember the word ''moth'' when you remember the pokemon Venomoth, who is really a moth; or to remember the word ''charcoal'', by remembering the fire-type pokemon Charmander, to name some a few examples. This kind of association makes very easier to remember a lot of words in a foreign language and it is surely an awesome tool for learning. Just watch out for not writing things like ''pidgey'' instead of writing ''pigeon'' in your English tests ;)
