Day 4: Building a Memory Palace

Associating words with a familiar physical space is a powerful way to memorize foreign vocabulary. Check out how I build a memory palace in New York's iconic Union Square.

Excellent. Thanks for sharing. Tim, you are one of my language heroes up there with Kenneth Hale, Cardinal Mezzafonti, Jose Rizal, and Sir Richard Francis Burton.

I'll just build my mind palace in Sims...

[@gabrieleproietti8802]

[@Dumogu2031]

[@medha6735]

I do something similar with German Der Wald is the forest: Walden was a book by Henry David Thoreau; it discusses how he lived in the forest next to Walden Pond for two years two months and two days.

A Chinese watched your video 你好，“走路” sounds like “走绿” for ur information ☺️

[@hunteremery2825]

Wow, first. This is a technique I haven’t seen applied to languages before.

👏🏽

Woah

[@samuelcariaga548]

With memory palace I can learn 70 word per day.

[@devonheart1029]

Why bring up Spanish subtitles, Tim?

[@alexandersmidt1316]

they are trying to target spanish people learning english, probably the biggest demographic.

אני רוצה להגיד לך משהו: זה נהדר

[@mst.shorifakhaton2165]

I'm the first one!!

[@clawdiakay4379]

I like this method, but many people said a memory palace should be an invented place like a building. What do you think about this?

[@asdfghjkl900321]

Doesn't matter if it's indoor or outdoor place. I use my house as one and my road to work as another palace for example. It can be even a fictional place. Like from a video game. Doesn't matter as long as you have your fix points along that route and know it well.

[@muhammada1489]

@@asdfghjkl900321 hi how are you? Could you please teach me how to do it more specifically, cause this clip was a summary of the whole subject

[@nicolezhang333]

Zoulu's second 'u' should sound more like /u:/ instead of 'v'

[@tirbhwansingh2883]

Hey Tim! You should try learning Punjabi, it's a dialect from Hindi so I bet won't be hard for you!

[@SoroushTorkian]

走路不是走绿

[@commoncola]

I’d love to use the memory palace, but I think my memory is too bad for it 😂

[@MusicChillRelax]

CommonCola if your memory was to bad you won’t be able to remind yourself how you are able to walk the hell ?

[@MatthieuPiquemal]

Nice in theory, but you cannot apply this for thousand of words... it's unrealistic and too slow of a process

[@alexanderscaccia463]

Actually there is one in the forum art of memory who memorized 13000 German words in 4 months

[@MatthieuPiquemal]

@@alexanderscaccia463 Wait, what?!

[@joelpearson4587]

You will get used to it. It is like meditating. Practice makes perfect. There is also memorizing shuffled cards etc... like one deck in 15 seconds is the world record or so (yes there is a championship for this shit).
