Sažetak
Memorizing vocabulary of a foreign language can sometimes be quite time and patience consuming ; therefore any kind of help in form of a learning technique is always welcome. Mnemonics are set of verbal or visual techniques which are used to improve storage of new information, ideas and concepts. Visual mnemonics are a good example of a useful aid in teaching/learning medical terminology, especially after the first few introductory sessions when the students are equipped with sufficient basic knowledge on word formation of medical terms. Picture-word associations are a possibility for both teacher and student to employ imagination to its fullest, to share ideas and at the same time there is the advantage of the learning responsibility shift from teacher to students themselves.
