What the fuck do you think learning vocabulary by reading is, if not memorization? You're just doing it subconsciously rather than intentionally.

    That's not memorizing the genders. You see the word, you know the word.

    I know that the Spanish word for table is mesa. I didn't sit there and think "the base part is mes and the a means it's female". The word is just mesa. And la mesa looks right because I've seen it. I didn't think "it needs to be la because it's feminine".
