Mnemonic

“Don’t loiter – run, Junior!” said Indiana Jones Senior to Indiana Jones Junior. They’re escaping from a sticky situation and Junior was just loitering around like a fool. It’s no time to loiter, it’s time to run!

Hints

Imagine Sean Connery saying “Don’t loiter – run, Junior!” and you should have a much easier time remembering this phrase if you remember it in his voice.

Mnemonic

Deciding not to loiter any longer, Indiana Jones Junior takes his dad’s advice and starts to run. Unfortunately he wasn’t paying attention to where his feet were and he stubbed his toe (と) on a jagged rock. His toe is in so much pain that he can’t bear to run any longer.

Hints

Imagine that you are Indiana Jones Junior and this is happening to you. Feel the terrible pain of your throbbing toe as you clutch it, with the bad guys catching up with you.
