Each of us has his/her own. Examples?



\"Foreign languages are the ideal subject area for the use of memory techniques: the process of learning words is essentially a matter of association - associating what is initially a meaningless collection of syllables with a word in a language that we understand.\"

A \'talent for languages\' is not so rare as you may think:

Dear Corinne and Arthur, Jan 9, 2003

Thank YOU! I once taught servicemen, so I should be used to saluting, but since I still can hardly tell a lieutenant from a colonel (unless it is Columbo vs. Harland Sanders), I now prefer to simply receive wishes, especially if they are as great as Arthur is sending me, i.e. for Christian, Jewish, Muslim, and Chinese new years all in one!



Same to you!

When I was a kid, I used to \"train\" my memory by learning by heart short verses in foreign languages.

Somehow it helped me. Once I found a (179 lettered) name of an Indian tribal chief and, of course, worked on it ...



The result is: after almost 35 years I remember the beginning (nearly half) of the Name:

\"...Lepodotemachoselachogaleokraneoneipsandorimupotrimalosilfioparaomelitokatakeklumenno.....\"



Maybe someone tried this too?...
