How to Learn and Memorize French Vocabulary ... Using a Memory Palace Specifically Designed for the French Language
How to Learn and Memorize French Vocabulary ... Using a Memory Palace Specifically Designed for the French Language (and adaptable to many other languages too)
If you'd like to improve your ability to learn French vocabulary by as much as 100%, 200%, even 300% (or more) ... using simple memory techniques that you can learn in 15-20 minutes (or less), then this may be the most important book that you will ever read.
Believe it or not, it really doesn't matter if you think you have a good memory or not.
The information in this book will teach you:
* Why memory is like a bicycle everyone can ride (with some minor personal adjustments).
* The real reason why no one should ever be squeamish about memorization or learning a language.
* Why and how some of the most famous memory skills are applicable to learning any language, especially French.
* How you can easily create a 26 "letter location" memory system based on the alphabet French shares with English.
* Unique techniques that will have you literally "tuning in" on the French language.
* How to separate French words in the most effective manner for memorization.
* Two secret ways you can use relaxation to aid the memorization process. These two methods alone are worth the price of this book because they will literally eliminate the stress and apprehension as you learn French.
* And much, much more ...
These techniques have been used by real language learners, most of whom previously considered themselves owners of a "bad memory," to make real strides in learning French vocabulary.
Don't worry! None of these techniques are rocket science.
Frankly, if you can memorize a short email address or the name of a movie, then you can use this system to memorize a language as rich and diverse as French.
Plus, everything you'll learn in this book applies to every other language that shares the same alphabet with English. And with a little imagination, the ideas are easily transferable to other alphabet systems too.
But there's really no time to lose.
Every day that you are not using this simple vocabulary memorization system, you are literally stealing from yourself the joy of being able to read, speak and recall an abundance of French vocabulary as you easily expanded the natural abilities of your mind.

Not helpful
Convoluted, to say the least. Possibly entertaining for someone who wants to be a sort of J.R.R Tolkien of memory, but not helpful to a beginning language student.

Slightly overwrought process that essentially allows you to memorise dictionaries. He misses a number of explanatory points along the way, unfortunately. Also, he neglects to mention just WHY we're putting all our words in memory palaces in the first place.
Still, this isn't a bad introduction to some of the baseline techniques involved.

I have read a few books about memorizing things. Each has had its virtues. This book is much better than the others because it provides more details, more practical examples, and a broader picture. This is the book and author to turn to for learning memorization skills. The author provides value for your money.

This is an expanded idea to Trudeau's "Mega Memory" which I tried in my early thirties. "Word Palaces" seems to work more easily so now I shall put it I to practice and see if I can get myself speaking and reading passable French.

Oh, my. If you're exceedingly analytical you might like this method of memorization. It's not for everyone, and definitely too convoluted for me.

Great book
I have been studying and implementing these techniques for a few weeks now. Hey, they work! This book is well worth the investment.
