I have done it - learnt the techniques to memorise decks of shuffled playing cards, and the value of 'pi' to dozens of decimal places but. So why not learn French words and remember them the easy 200 Words a Day! way.Īnd it really works.

The world's great Memory Masters, people who can memorize several decks of cards, lists of thousands of items etc, teach us that to imbed something in your mind so that you will remember it, you just need to visualise it in a crazy scene in your mind's eye. It's all in the Memory Trigger picture, that snapshots itself into your brain's subconscious.
What's more - things, or nouns, in French are either ' male' or ' female' - which stumps French learners (because they can never remember which is which!).īut with the powerful tool of a Memory Trigger picture in your hands - it is easy - a unique female character (in this case, the mermaid) is used with each feminine word, and unique male characters for masculine words. What is more you will REMEMBER what you learned! With pictures and Memory Triggers like this French learning is made super simple. Poster in French is l'affiche, which sounds like LA FISH.
