What other Acronyms (Mnemonics) are common for beginning French
students?
I never heard of your BANGS when I was learning French, and I'm glad I
didn't. I think it would have slowed down my learning.
I did learn "Every good boy deserves fruit", and it badly hurt my
ability to sight-read music [1]. A school friend of mine, a music
teacher, wanted to shoot the person who invented that one.
[1] I finally did learn to sight-read on the treble clef, but I'm still
struggling with the bass clef. And that's despite my singing bass in a
choir.
