Tap into the power of visualization and imagination to accelerate your learning time using mnemonics! I experienced the power of mnemonics years ago when I was studying Japanese kanji characters. Rote memorization was laborious; then I found a book by James Heisig that was described as a course on how not to forget Japanese characters (Remembering the Kanji). With the guidance of Heisig’s book, utilizing visualization, I was able to memorize all 2,000 of the basic kanji characters! A few years later when I was studying Dominic O’Brien’s CD course, Quantum Memory Power, I was able to memorize nine French words that were called out by O’Brien in 53 seconds. When my son was in high school he got into the habit of approaching me for help on vocabulary quizzes—at the last minute. We used mnemonics to cram for his tests; he consistently brought home high scores, obtained with minimal time invested in studying. Why not let your imagination work for you? Stimulate your mind to learn vocabulary by visualizing fanciful stories with imaginative characters and situations! Mnemonics will give you a head-start grasp on vocabulary until it becomes familiar through normal usage—from reading, listening, speaking, and writing. This book is handy for several reasons: -You don’t have time to make your own mnemonics; for example you have a pressing vocabulary exam tomorrow, but you haven’t finished Biology and English homework yet, hence no time to dream up mnemonics. -You are not the creative type and have difficulty inventing your own mnemonics. -You would like to compare your mnemonics with mine—to see whose is more memorable, or simply for reinforcement. -There is a word that persistently stumps you.
