Apple – la manzana

To remember that apple is pronounced man-thah-nah (manzana) in European Spanish, use the following mnemonic:

She gave him an apple. The man thanked her appreciatively (manzana).

Manzana is feminine, so it's la manzana. Imagine a lady whose adam's apple looks just like an apple.
