Here's an example for you:
costar = to cost
...imagine the movie star (m) saying to the CO-STAR, “that’s going to cost you a dollar if you spill that on my COASTER again!”
For nouns add a GENDER TRIGGER: a MALE character for masculine words (blue text), FEMALE for feminine (red text.
Note the colours used above for the text of the word. Other words like verbs, adjectives etc are green.
CHARACTERS: Try, if you can, to add a famous character or celebrity to your Spanish Memory Trigger. This will more deeply embed the trigger into the subconsious for better retention and recall. Use famous characters from history, presidents, generals, sports stars, movie, rock stars etc.
(Try to avoid referring directly to licensed characters - like Donald Duck, Mickey Mouse, Bart Simpson. If using them say something like '... someone that looks like Donald Duck...' rather than a direct use of Donald Duck.)
For verbs and adjectives, and for nouns, use characters that somehow remind you of the word, because they are somehow associated with it in some way.
