Memory Hook
Think of a 'curtain' in a room — it sounds like 'curtain' in English, but in Japanese, it's 『カーテン』 (kaaten, 'curtain'), borrowed from English. Visualize a curtain with the katakana spelling to remember it's a loanword.
Cultural Note
In Japanese homes, 『カーテン』 (kaaten, 'curtain') is essential for privacy and light control. Traditional 『障子』 (shoji, 'paper sliding doors') are also common, but curtains are widely used in modern settings, especially in urban apartments.
