Mandarin Workflow

Per-Word Encoding Workflow

1. Pick target word from current dictionary page.
2. Build meaning image.
3. Add sound-alike cue for pronunciation.
4. Add tone marker image.
5. Place scene at the next locus.
6. Recall immediately without looking.

Session Structure (30 min)

• 5 min: review previous loci
• 20 min: encode 5 new words
• 5 min: full walk and test

End-of-Session Check

• Can you recall all new meanings?
• Can you state each tone confidently?
• Which scenes feel weak or vague?

If weak, rebuild the scene immediately with stronger imagery.
