Tips to remember the German word ‘besuchen’:
– Break down the word into ‘be-‘ (a common German prefix that can imply ‘around’ or ‘to apply a verb’) and ‘suchen’ (“to seek”). Think of “besuchen” as going to “seek” someone or something out, implying a visit.
– Associate “besuchen” with the English word “search” (sounds like “suchen”), but instead of searching, you’re going to where you already know: making a visit.
