I agree with Erol that putting it in its natural place reduces the need to “make a loci”. It also has the added benefit of making it easier to find, when there’s context added to your loci your brain can jump straight to the image instead of having to scroll through your mindpalace. I would add an extra piece of advice though, I would find the words and phrases naturalistically through reading literature and to add your images to the actual places that are being spoken about in the book. You won’t have to create any loci because that will happen automatically when reading a story, also there’s so much more context and emotion added to the words and phrases when they’re found from a good book. Also, this strategy agrees with the literature on second language acquisition “comprehensible input - Stephen Krashen” so you’ll actually be improving your grammar, fluency and comprehension accidentally while trying to learn these words. And most importantly it’s infinitely more fun so you can work for hours longer.
That’s my advice:)
