One thing I've noticed helps me learning language has been working hard to imagine the physical thing as opposed to the english equivalent word. That is imagining a shiny red apple when learning "manzana" instead of the word "apple". Always wondered if theres anything to back this sort of approach up or its just different learning styles.
Oh totally, I've wondered the exact same thing. I started messing around with that on leerly, and there are a couple articles with a feature called Storybook, where images appear as the user is speaking, to help build the association between the foreign word/sound with an image, rather than the associated word in your target language.
I have no idea if it's effective, I just think it'd be cool to see how it helps with learning grammar. I def want to experiment more with it, but it takes a fair amount of time to add images to all the articles.
