A friend of mine learned French by labelling the things around his house. He was only learning a few words so he could communicate with his French cousin.

I'm wondering if this idea would work? What he did was he labelledl the French word on things like his TV, computer, fridge, desk, bookshelf, etc. He then wrote a few sentences under the word like "I am watching television" or "My computer is off" and such.

Would this be a good way to learn words?
