    I'm taking an accelerated chemistry course for nursing school----never had chemistry before in my life. This was EXTREMELY helpful. Thank you so much! I couldn't figure out how to make connections to remember the structures/names of these compounds and this video is the only video I could find that helps make those connections.

    Ester reminds me of Easter. So then I correlate that with easter eggs and that reminds me that there are two oxygens in Ester. :)

    How I remember ketones, esters and ethers. Ester always seems to have her hands full. But this time, Ester leaves the house and has free hands on "ether" side. But before she can get back into the house, Ester grabs her keys. (Keys are ketones). "Come ON!", she exclaims, the "ON" said at double volume, voicing her frustration. (Double volume means double bond). She associates her keys with being frustrated. Poor Ester.

    Ester sounds similarly to Easter, imagine the O as a person's head, the double bonds as the body, two bonds coming out of c as legs, and attached to them is a basket of eggs. Lol this made me smile. O II C = BODY , 2 BONDS FROM C ARE LEGS, AND BOND O BOND = A BASKET OF EGGS

Ester, to recognise the word ends in ...oates so I remember it by Oats for Easter (oates for ester). This can be added to Weqar's ideas too. I like David's trigger (see below).
