Useful additional material to help learn how to use a memory palace in language learning. I'm currently taking an online course with the author and found this a v helpful supplement. I'm not sure hoe much you'd get out of the book on its own - I was reading it as part of an immersion in a whole new learning system (a system I'd thoroughly recommend).
