Learning techniques for Spanish beginners

Ok, so I want to know how to say 'what', 'how' and 'who' in Spanish. Not just the words to say them, but something which will help me remember. Well, why not just use this (I came across this a while ago) song:

To make a statement, say a subject then the verb. To make a question, just say them in reverse. Flip a question mark that's where the party begins, right side up one always goes where it ends. Porque asks why, cuando asks when, donde asks where, to find out who ask, quien. Que is what, which is cual, how is como and put an accent on them all.

Also, see the following ten words, with their meanings with a visual image to remember them in seconds!! (I've tried...and it works!!):

Zorro= fox (a fox in the mask of Zorro)

Gato= cat (a cat with wide gaps between his toes)

Perro= dog (a dog jumping over a pair of rowboats)

Oso= bear (a sloth bear...oh, so big!)

Mesa= table (imagine a table made of salt licks)

Falda= skirt (imagine a skirt worn in the fall by your dame)

Cabeza= head (a head sitting in a cab at the base of the passenger's side, crying out, "Ah!" when the driver makes a sharp turn)
