into a context, along with a mental image of bags, to learn which French adjectives

goodness words like bon, mauvais, vrai; and S for size words, like petit, grand,
gros, long. When Lih has to use any adjective in speaking or writing, she just
remembers BAGS and knows where to put the adjective.

strategies- the second group of direct strategies-can be used for learning a new
language.
