Too many vowels

A common method I'm using for remembering the pronunciation of each of the vowels is word association - learn a word which demonstrates the sound well. I hope at some point these pronunciations become second nature, but while I wait for that moment to arrive I can recall one of the words in the list below to jog my memory.

So here's my list so far:

Vowel	Example	Phonetically	Translation
a	anya	ahnyah	mum
á	hát	huut	why
e	nem	nem	no
é	kék	kayk	blue
i	igen	eegen	yes
í	víz	veez	water
o	hol	hawl	where
ó	ló	laaw	horse
ö
ő
u
ú
ü
ű

These are working for me so far, but I'd be interested to hear what works for others. I used a couple of useful resources when putting together this list:
