Think of the process like mental orienteering where you go for a jog in your mind along a set trail and arrive at control points along the way.<\/p>\n<p>To help, I created an excel spreadsheet with an index of initials for names of famous people, friends and cartoon characters, running all the way from AA to ZZ. This process took a little time to work through and I made some compromises along the way. In particular, I left out the letters Q \u2013 X \u2013 Y (just too hard to come up with names).<\/p>\n<p>I ended up with a list of 600 names running from Andre Agassi to the bearded rockers from the band ZZ Top. Six hundred names means, in theory, I am able to memorize at least 600 foreign language sentences.<\/p>\n<p>Running alongside my list of names I also have a separate list of 100 what I refer to as my memory tag words. These words use the well-established mnemonic <a href=\"https:\/\/www.magneticmemorymethod.com\/major-method\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Major Method<\/a>\u00a0which is a technique used to aid in memorizing numbers and has been used in memorize shopping lists, the sequence of a shuffled pack of card and memory competitions.

Answer: No. I&#8217;ve found that once a schedule of recall practice is established you&#8217;ll be able to rely on the processing power of your mind to summon the sentence.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">The next problem I had to solve concerned mental real estate. I now had in place my daily practice of learning and memorizing new German phrases\u00a0and placing them along my chosen route. But I eventually realized I was running out of stations along my route and I wanted to get more benefit out of the site of this Memory Palace.<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-5808 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/e5hougg55fx.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Optimized-ikea-shelf-1.jpeg?strip=all&lossy=1&quality=60&ssl=1\" alt=\"A bookshelf used as a Memory Palace for German vocabulary and phrases\" width=\"450\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/e5hougg55fx.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Optimized-ikea-shelf-1.jpeg?strip=all&amp;lossy=1&amp;quality=60&amp;ssl=1 450w, https:\/\/e5hougg55fx.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Optimized-ikea-shelf-1-150x150.jpeg?strip=all&amp;lossy=1&amp;quality=60&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/e5hougg55fx.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Optimized-ikea-shelf-1-300x300.jpeg?strip=all&amp;lossy=1&amp;quality=60&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/e5hougg55fx.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Optimized-ikea-shelf-1.jpeg?strip=all&amp;lossy=1&amp;quality=60&amp;w=90&amp;ssl=1 90w, https:\/\/e5hougg55fx.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Optimized-ikea-shelf-1.jpeg?strip=all&amp;lossy=1&amp;quality=60&amp;w=360&amp;ssl=1 360w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">My solution was to use a system of alphabetical modular shelving &#8211; think Ikea wall units &#8211; in which to place my mnemonic imagery.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">So when it came time to assign German phrases\u00a0to my prepared list of EA to EZ letters, instead of using up 23 separate places (remember letters Q, X and Y are out) along the route, I imagined a rather large E-shaped white Ikea wall unit with 23 compartments at the next station along the path.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">And in each compartment I would place my mnemonic interpretation of whatever German sentence I was learning that day. Kind of like the dioramas I used to help my son make for his school projects.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Forging The Memory Chain Using Recall And Difference<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">The main advantage I&#8217;ve found with using what I call my double-bind memory link strategy (i.e. initials plus memory tag words) is that if I happen to forget one when practicing my recall I can usually rely on the other one to help me out. Take up this practice and you&#8217;ll see quick results too.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Memory Palaces do not have to be photographic \/ perfect representations \u2013 they just need to be consistent with how you recall them in your mind. Once I&#8217;ve memorized a batch of 23 sentences to the point where I can mentally recall the sentences forwards, backwards and in some random order, I use a simple spaced repetition system that involves setting a date in my Google calendar with a title like &#8211; &#8220;LA &#8211; LZ 1 week&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">I then mentally run through my recall, check my responses on the spreadsheet and, if I get them correct, will reset the next recall for two weeks, followed by 3 weeks, 4 weeks, 6 weeks, 2 months, 3 months, 6 months. If I&#8217;m not happy with my recall practice I&#8217;ll review the mnemonic sentence I\u2019ve constructed and practice again a few days later.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">I recommend you rehearse your phrases\u00a0out loud because you need to hear the sounds your voice makes. Make a practice of writing them out by hand as a way of reinforcing the learning. For extra bonus points you might like to record the sentences and listen to them when you&#8217;re out and about.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">That pretty well sums up what I&#8217;ve achieved in a short period of time. This method takes the key features found on Magnetic Memory Method site and tweaks them to get the best value out of your Memory Palace. Try creating warehouses in your own Memory Palaces using the alphabetical system outlined. My German phrases\u00a0continues to swell and grow. So far I&#8217;ve gone from Andre Agassi to Van Halen. That&#8217;s about 500 sentences.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Sprechen, Lesen, Schreiben und H\u014dren <\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>(Speak German, Read, Write &amp; Listen)<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">As I mentioned at the start of this post we all write, listen, read and speak in sentences and German phrases.
