My dad forwarded me some examples of mnemonic aid for English-speaking learners of Russian. I find them rather amusing, check it out:

[English Meaning - Russian word/phrase - English mnemonic (sounds very similar to the pronunciation of the Russian phrase)]:

I love you - Я люблю вас - "Yellow Blue Bus"
Good/great - Хорошо - "Horror Show"
Mayonnaise -

I'm not a woman you can trust -- Я не женщина, поверь мне ("I'm not a woman, trust me")

Spirit is strong, but the flesh is weak -- Водка ничего, а мясо протухло ("The vodka's fine, but the meat has started decomposing")

Die beiden find' ich ja besonders witzig. :D
