38.1. Chinese character sentence component mnemonic systems
Associate one word to each character/character component.
One good way to find mnemonics is to just Google for whatever random words you want to fit into a sentence. You end up learning fun things this way, and those make the best mnemonics.
Then to learn a new character, break it down into components, and create a sentence or short story that includes all the component words.
