How to Learn And Memorize Greek Vocabulary ... Using A Memory Palace Specifically Designed For Greek

by Anthony Metivier

How to Learn and Memorize Greek Vocabulary ... Using a Memory Palace Specifically Designed for Greek (and adaptable to many other languages too) If you'd like to improve your ability to learn Greek 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 * 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 Greek. * How you can easily create a "letter location" memory system based on the Greek alphabet. * How to quickly and easily learn and memorize the sounds of the Greek alphabet * Unique techniques that will have you literally "tuning in" on the Greek language. * How to separate Greek 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 your stress and apprehension as you learn Greek. * 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 Greek vocabulary. Don't worry! None of these techniques involve brain surgery! 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 Greek. 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 Greek vocabulary as you easily expand the natural abilities of your mind.

Reviews

[Brian Z. Hamilton · Rating 4 out of 5]

All the advice in this book is really solid and fits with everything I know about memory, so it should be a good practice should one adopt the strategy. Not sure why he chose learning Greek as the vessel for conveying memory techniques, because the strategies will work with anything one wants to remember, not just a language. It jives really well with this TED Talk on giving speeches without using notes. (Fair warning, the speaker uses some visual aids of questionable moral nature to illustrate his memory technique. However, don't let the picture of nudists riding bicycles distract from the point he's making, which is imagining the ridiculous aids you in remembering things. It's a talk well worth hearing.)

I'd known about memory palaces before, but I didn't know how they were implemented, and this book was a good intro into how to develop one. Also, one new component of memorizing something that I'd never really thought of is the value of being relaxed, which makes sense.

4 Stars because I don't like when books feel like advertisements for other materials the author provides elsewhere. The material in the book is good and reliable, but he frequently mentions "You can find more resources at...."
