If you’re starting learning it might be an aid but I don’t really find a true resemblance between the original and the made up phrases and I guess that the fact that English and Japanese pronunciations are quite different doesn’t really help that.
I once found a sheet of how to say certain words in Spanish and it was hillarious.

I usually remember my vocab visually, or through extremely convoluted mental associations. For instance, abunai reminds me of Aku, the villain from Samurai Jack, and hiragana ‘mu’ looks like a little cow. There are also leagues of words that I remember purely because they’re in songs I like. Never underestimate the power of music!

When I was a child my parents had a twin tub washing machine, the doors on the top were broken so they were always open. One day my mother was carrying me whilst loading the machine, she had added the washing, the powder, the water.

As she leaned over to plug the twin tub in, she put the plug in the wrong way around, reversing the polarity, the machine began to buck wildly, already off balance, she had to let go of her precious bundle dropping me into a reversely polarized fully loaded twin tub.

From that day I have always been a little too clean.

Well to be fair, that number HAS decreased drastically as of late.
