I've just discovered the whole 'linkword' thing, and it's great except for chinese we need to remember tones as well, which got me thinking. The link words/ phrases could be altered to include a number that defines the tone. Example, for wei4, you could alter the link about someone getting in your way everytime you wanted a seat to being 4 people getting in your way. For the word 'xing1' for stars, it could be that there was only 1 star in the sky that made you so happy you wanted to sing. Just a thought.
