Thanks for the comment, Doreen, and good to meet you. These techniques can seem too good to be true, but if you put them to work, I'm confident you'll be pleasantly surprised. And skepticism is a powerful tool that can help you, as I discuss here: www.magneticmemorymethod.com/skeptics-succeed-memory-techniques/ Thanks again and look forward to hearing from you again soon. What draws you to Biblical Hebrew, by the way?
superficially it's to keep my brain ticking over healthily. at a deeper level there's a connection I don't quite understand. some folk say that fasting is good for the brain. not sure if they mean total abstinence from food for a given time. for sometime I have been doing a 16hr fast everyday. thank you for skeptics link.
Improving brain health is very substantial and not superficial at all. I fast myself, but it's for n=1 experimentation. Science is very important to me and I'm so glad that this tool is being accepted by more and more people as the powerful process it is. But each of us still has the burden of applying its findings to ourselves in our own context. In other words, we need to be scientists ourselves in the laboratories of our own lives. That is the only way to gather the only data that ultimately matters: our own. Does that sound reasonable to you?
Glad to hear this helped! What would you say was the most useful idea or tip for you? I'd love to know because that helps me continue helping you. Thanks for the post and look forward to hearing back from you! :)
Hi, very informative video Thanks. I have now built my memory palace with the purpose of learning German. And as I am working myself through creating the mnemonics I find that I can create a phonic mnemonic, this helps me remember the word but not the spelling, so am not sure, if my mnemonic would help me more if I learned the spelling or how the word sounds as many times the spelling is very different from how it should be pronounced.I am confusing myself. Any thoughts on this?
Thanks for this, Ángie. I have had experiences like this with pinyin in Chinese where the spelling is strangely off kilter with respect to pronunciation. It will be useful for you to memorize the relevant pronunciation rules as soon as you can. Depending on the language, memorizing this could be game-changing for you: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Phonetic_Alphabet Hope this helps and look forward to your next comment on this channel and to having your as part of the Magnetic Memory Method community. :)
Another remark Anthony! I realised that u v produced tons of videos on memory tricks, thats great but the majority are long and without any visual imputs such as those u have used here. These visual messages just summarize the whole speech and help man stay concentrated. Just a friendly feed-back !
Thanks for your feedback! We do many different styles and always seek to improve. However, we find that very few people benefit - or even watch - the short videos. Do short videos really make sense? If so, why and where is the empirical evidence?
@@AnthonyMetivierMMM U are certainly wright to ask for evidence and again u r certainly more experienced than all of us about lectures and their impact ... Thats may be only my choice :).
If that is your only choice, then there are quite possibly other things to work on in your life before coming to memory training. In memory training, we spend time in the beginning so we have endless amounts of free time later because we can learn faster. But to expect anything worth learning to be dribbled out in doses at the preference of the learner is unrealistic. Just look at the world - anyone with expertise invests time in developing it and there are few exceptions. Do you think you can make lifestyle changes that will enable you to spend more time on proper content AND reflecting appropriately on that teaching so you can take meaningful and effective action?
@@AnthonyMetivierMMM I think i could not explain myself clear enough, sorry for that. I meant that i could not watch long videos. But u r definitely wright in saying that big achievements require long investments.
If anything changes, we've got some of the longest videos out there - and usually the most powerful secrets are hidden or only found by those who are thorough and take notes. That's where I find all the riches in the course videos I watch. :-)
Hello Anthony, I like your comment on how a lot of people don't focus on the intensity enough. A lot of times when I use memory palaces I'll use the person's car or their own body as a Memory Palace. And sometimes when I go back and review, often times I'll be able to find the reason that one or two of the images or knowledge I could not recall back ; it was because I didn't make the locking intense enough as you alluded to. Hope you're well. My father asked about you today. He said "are you still talking to that dude from Australia." Lol. And just so you know when I use a car for a Memory Palace I use the two headlights as number two. I use the fan blade for number 3. I use the four cylinders is number 4. And a six pack of beer or water for number 6. and various other numbers that there's no point in mentioning them because it would just be confusion. For the human body I'm going to skip number one but for 2 i used the two human eyes. And the for the canines number 4. The back of the human legs for number 11 etcetera. I like how in some of your other videos you talk about incorporating the memory palace with the major system. Once a person is able to do that they really have for the most part reached another level of expertise. And then when you can word map, you have so many tools at your disposal. For example my current teacher's name is Christine. so I just lock in Church Rhode Island and create a story around that to store information around her body. During the test all I have to do is think about her first and last name and her body and all the answers automatically come back to me. Or at least enough to get a B grade without much effort. or an A grade with a little more effort laugh out loud.
Thanks for checking out this older video, and say hello to your dad for me and the whole community. That's great about your car Memory Palace. It's true: Once you have a Major System and can link it to any Memory Palace, you are indeed truly next level. You can slot many things into place much faster and easier. But it's not always the best way to go. Like all tools, it needs to fit the task at hand. About review, there is almost always a reason why some images don't "work." It is almost always that we simply haven't worked the techniques to the highest possible degree. It's so great you're using your teacher in this way. The human body has so much potential, and is like the Major System in many ways that have implications for each station in a Memory Palace if one wants to work in that way. Thanks as always for the conversation and look forward to your next post! :-)
@@AnthonyMetivierMMM well thank you. You would like my father. He's 85 still going strong. My deceased Uncle would have really liked you too. If you lived in the United States my father and I would surely come visit you at a local coffee shop.
That's great about your dad, and I would like to meet you all, and would have liked to meet your uncle. What are the chances you'll ever visit Australia? I think it's unlikely I'll see the US again myself, but you never know. :)
@@AnthonyMetivierMMM highly unlikely that I will ever come to Australia. But I will try to send you u.s. mail soon with in the next 3 months with my phone number perhaps we could text back and forth I have a MetroPCS PC phone I really should get a iPhone phone so I could do FaceTime. It's hard to believe I don't know how to do some of that stuff as educated as I am in other ways. I have my 6G pipe welding certificate and a two-year associate's degree. Yet there are people in my neighborhood that haven't finished high school and know how to FaceTime. It's all relative I guess laugh out loud. On second thought maybe I will come to Australia when I'm coaching the US soccer team in the world cups. In all seriousness I do plan on working in the MSL Soccer League from about age 55 until 83. But after my parents move on I'm not ruling out the fact of coaching overseas. Highly unlikely but I'm not ruling it out.
The coaching goal sounds very interesting. Why can’t you pursue it now? I’ll keep my eyes open for mail, but am not much of a phone person and struggling a fair amount with my voice lately. I might have to stop live streaming and save it for shorter videos and the podcast. Maybe I can turn it around, but I’m thinking I need to start booking silent retreats every quarter so that I truly give it a rest. But... when people come visit, I definitely need it working to ensure we have a good ⏳.
It certainly has elements of coding going back at least to Aristotle's Nuclear Alphabet as discussed here: ruclips.net/video/_3N2i73LKt0/видео.html I would say if we look at it from your suggested code perspective, there are five codes working together in a flexible way that takes on the appearance of system. But it's more "be water, my friend" in the Bruce Lee vein.
I am trying to learn German, as I currently live in Austria but finding it near impossible and starting to think I will never get it. But, found this and going to give it a go!!
I learned German and love Austria. I started by just memorizing vocabulary and then adding phrases using the Memory Palace technique. Before long, I was lecturing in German. Give it a try! :-)
Hi Anthony, i am also considering using memoryTechniques to learn German. A specific question: Do you have a memory tip to match the articles der die das with their counterpart words? For exemple a colouring method ? The three colours from the german flag may be? so as to meorise 'das Auto' as a red Auto in your memory? Or do you have a better idea given that u should perform this habit to all german words.
Thanks for your question. Colors are a bit too abstract for me. I use boxers and boxing gloves for masculine, skirts for feminine and fire for neutral. Es ist einfacher.
@@AnthonyMetivierMMM thats surely a great tip Anthony i ll try yours ! btw do u have a book or documents, lectures on learning german with memory techniques with memorized word examples or other tricks and tips such as the boxing gloves :). When i first started to learn english there was a guy who had published a book with over 500 most commonlu used words pictured with memory tricks and i still remember some of them :).
Thanks for your question. I'm not sure this the right way to think about it. For example, language learning never ends. We can all improve our mother tongue using the Memory Palace technique and set goals with milestones to bring clarity to the journey. I talk a lot more about crafting better goals for language learning here: www.magneticmemorymethod.com/foreign-language/ In brief, you should be able to reach A1 level in about 3 months if you show up consistently using these techniques. That's not "fluency" but it's quite a jump. :-)
How did you apply these concepts to learn/memorize the chinese kanji? I'm studying japanese and I need to memorize 1.845 kanji. That would take TOO MANY palaces. ;_;
Thanks for taking the time to comment, Willian. It's a fundamental misunderstanding that you need more than 26 Memory Palaces for most memory projects. Soon I'll be adding the Kanji bonus training I have to the Magnetic Memory Method Masterclass. I think you'll find it useful. :)
Thanks for taking a moment to comment, Hans. I respectfully disagree, however - and this is because I've learned so much oral Chinese that I can speak every day with my wife and work on the characters at a more leisurely place. I also have a means of remembering the tones that I wouldn't have time for if I were trying to get it all at once. Of course, not everyone has the same needs or interests when it comes to language learning. But I think that in the case of languages with tones and characters, a lot of people will reach the essential goal of listening and understanding a lot faster if they're willing to try my suggestions and pick up the characters a bit further on in the game. Because inevitably what happens is this: You have an oral basis and Memory Palaces in place for "massaging" the characters into your memory. Yes, it's very helpful to be studying them all along - and I do. But I'm not making a dedicated memory study of them at the moment because I want to speak Chinese much more than I want to read it. I want to speak with my wife, with her family and with her friends. This means the world to me, whereas isolated reading means very little. By the same token, I still use all of The Big Five of Language Learning, which includes writing practice. It's just in this case that I'm writing primarily in Pinyin with very little character study at the moment. Thanks again for your thoughts - I look forward to continuing the discussion! :)
Interesting, thinking in words instead of pictures. I think i have a mix of those. I can recall pictures, but must have seen it, but find it difficult to create new pictures, but in words i can create a new situation, but not in pictures. So i can't see a new room, but can "write" a new object in a new room. When reading a book I do not see it happen but hear/sense it happen. Food for thought indeed ;)
Great follow up - thanks! I'm very much a mix of words and pictures too, but the pictures aren't really "seen" as such. It's kind of a ghostly thing that I can't quite describe. It's also almost more felt than seen, and explaining it in words bolts it down in a big way. This is why I always suggest that people write down their mnemonics. Many don't have to complete this step, but I still think it's a best practice. And what Penn is saying is exactly the prediction I would make for anyone: If you verbalize it, you'll instantly make it more memorable. Incidentally, I'm a magician myself and when learning a new sleight, I always speak it out loud in order to help my mind better direct my muscles. It reduces the learning curve significantly. Thanks again for your contributions to this discussion. Look forward to your next post! :)
I am a big Tim Ferris fan. I also like Dave Asprey and some of his brain health advice, namely fasting and using brain octane...though I use coconut oil and regular mct oil to save money lol.
Fasting is great. I do Thursdays and Sundays and am now in my 2nd year. I cook with coconut oil, but didn't find any advantage from MCT. Bullet Proof Coffee, although I love it, only gave me thrush. Apparently, this is a fairly common outcome, even with the highest quality, grass-fed butter. That said, I also have pre-existing gut issues, so please don't think I'm pointing the finger at BPC. That's just been my experience. :)
Anthony Metivier If I get too low carb I get the skin issues too. I am not a fanatic about BPC and his brand as I think he is on shaky ground with science re: mold in coffee. Having said that my best brain enhancements come from fasting. I do make the bpc with creamed coconut meat and oil as too much dairy seens to slow my brain down lol.
Agreed on fasting. Ultimately, all food draws upon our resources in order to process them. They're almost always going to impose a drag on cognition, even in another area they support it.

I'm really really disappointed in this. Half an hour, and not one example of using memory palace for foreign language. Time is dear to us, and I have watched this , for 30 minutes, and there is no example. Why?
Thanks for your comment and sorry you were disappointed. If you get more into my channel, you'll eventually discover why there are limited examples. In fact, most of my teaching success comes from helping individuals see that the mnemonic examples worth pursuing are the ones you create yourself, not that are given. The reality is that this channel has *too many* examples, but most people are unfortunately blind to them because they're not yet sufficiently versed in mnemonic theory or otherwise enfeebled. If you're interested in getting more from this channel, I suggest taking the free course on my site and supplementing it with the MMM Podcast. It's not for everyone, and will continually recommend that you create your own mnemonics as an alternative to seeking, or even needing examples. If that's not for you, I don't know who to suggest as I'm not aware of any good teacher of memory techniques who does otherwise. All the good ones limit the mnemonic examples they give and focus on encouraging students to put theory into action.

It's not for everyone, and will continually recommend that you create your own mnemonics as an alternative to seeking, or even needing examples. If that's not for you, I don't know who to suggest as I'm not aware of any good teacher of memory techniques who does otherwise. All the good ones limit the mnemonic examples they give and focus on encouraging students to put theory into action.
