1. Remembering the names of the method of association

Our brain does not like new information, but copes with the processing of the old and familiar. Therefore communicate new information to familiar. Heard the person's name - just think of the association. This will help you:

• autobiographical associations (names of relatives, friends, classmates and classmates);
• historical associations (names of famous historical and political figures);
• cultural associations (names of heroes of films, books, serials);
• Spelling Association (the first letter of the name come up verb beginning with the same letter: Eugene - juggling, Stas - whistles).

Imagine for a moment a picture in your head - and you're done: Association secured for that person.

Put the name of each item in English, French, German - any language you want to learn. Write the words on the stickers (can be with transcription, but without translation). And glue sticker for each subject, but at the same time several times repeat to myself the word you want to remember better.

Words gradually postponed in memory, and it does not require any extra effort. Gradually you get used to them, so a week later remove the stickers and replace them with new ones.

In the method of sound associations have several obvious advantages: it is easy to learn, it is universal and for Russian and foreign languages, and a very pleasant audialam.

In any difficult words, you should try to hear something familiar and simple.

Catherine Dodonova parses this method on the example of the word "scrupulous" that we do not only write, but often recite properly. Connecting the hearing and catch the familiar - "with the rump." And imagine the meticulous man: he is so attentive and meticulous that finds even the smallest defect size of the rump. The picture appeared in the imagination, the association secured.

Write down words that you can not remember, say them out loud, and come up with a bright association. And then you will no longer make mistakes in their writing.

5. Method disjunction to remember PINs

In any combination of numbers can be found logical connections. If we need to remember a series of four numbers, think of an example of addition, multiplication, division. For example, before you PIN 5813. Very lucky, because just remember: 5 + 8 = 13. PINs like 1861 is easily attached to the historical dates: imagine, like Alexander II abolishes serfdom.
