method – el método

(Pronounced meh-toh-doh)

To remember that method is pronounced meh-toh-doh (método) in Spanish, use the following mnemonic:

The method to stop toes being damaged on building sites is to use metal toecaps which don't (método) allow them to be crushed. 

Método is masculine, so it's el método. Imagine an elephant using the same method as humans to protect it's feet, i.e. metal toecaps that don't crush.
