My younger boy, who is also a LotR fan is learning English and French at school and to memorize the spelling, he uses funny connections. Lately he sees "Ents" everywhere, as in "parENTS" (which in German would mean "a couple of ents" [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] ) or "ENTrance" "ENTraînemENT" and so on . Of course, there are lot of "ents" in German as well:e.g. ENT-schuldigung (excuse)! So at least we have something to smile, while doing homework [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] !
