Memorizing ALL the FLAGS of the WORLD in 1 HOUR

[@NelsonDellis]

How many flags do YOU know??

[@noodleeee]

i just recently learned all of them with your other technqiues and im a huge fan! thanks

[@noodleeee]

+i think you should totally do capitals next

[@MarinoMoons]

I have known all of them and a lot more for a long time. Really easy!

[@jorian_meeuse]

I learnt all of them, not sure how many i remember, its been a while. Also i've seen you comment on graham siggins his videos before, do you plan on trying multiblind as well or do you prefer memorizing without rubiks cubes

[@jaronbroucke]

I live in Belgium so I think I probably know most country flags in Europe.

[@juozasjuozas]

I have a funny Barbados story for you: When i was a small kid, my foot feel asleep and the recurring bloodstream caused the typical pins and needles sensation. As this sensation was new to me and caused a bit of a concern, I told my mother that my foot is (translated) "Barbading"! Well she was confused. The flag with the trident resonated so strongly with me, that I was not aware that I associated a whole country with a tingling in my foot which feels like as someone stabbed me with a trident! :D

[@NelsonDellis]

Haha thanks for sharing that. Definitely enhances the mnemonic for that flag!!

[@henton75]

Talk about timely video! I recently started memorizing all the countries, capitals, flags and locations and this video couldn't be more relevant to watch! You helped me overcome some of the challenges with mixing up some flags and gave tips that will make it a lot easier for me. I look forward to seeing more of these videos, where you might build more information into these memories. Since I started memory training I've gained a completely new perspective on my own learning, smashing those old beliefs about what my brain is capable of. Your channel has been of huge influence in my journey. The work you're doing is truly invaluable. Keep up the good work, Nelson!

[@dharmabm42]

Would love to see you do a Geography-related challenge with the 'Geography Now' KZbin channel team. You guys would definitely hit it off.

[@NelsonDellis]

Never heard of that channel, but I'll check it out!

[@davidcovington901]

Great lesson and thanks. I am sure you'll never run out of things to memorize! Here's a colorful candidate. The human body has about 200 cell types, and after staining and under a microscope, they are abstract art. Maybe in an hour you can learn these, and med students will thank you.

[@kimchi_b]

Quality content, deserves more views!

[@RMBittner]

Sorry, I’m coming to this late, but the one thing that I was most curious about didn’t seem to be covered: How are you actually memorizing all of the colors? If you didn’t know that France was red, white, and blue, for example, how would you go about memorizing those colors and their specific order on the flag? Do you have a specific system/approach for color memorization?

[@kimchi_b]

Good point!

[@marcin6386]

Hi Nelson, I watch so many of your videos to the point that it feels like you are part of my family, ;D Great to see you keep going so well! Idea: Make a video about how you are memorizing Japanese KANJI 🙂

[@NelsonDellis]

Thank you! I literally was reading my remembering the kanji book!! Coming soon! I promise

[@marcin6386]

@@NelsonDellis Ha! I knew that we are on the same page when I saw some of your comments under Marc Rebbilet's improvisations :D

[@user-pd9cq7sm8o]

Nelson, Nelson, Nelson....it gets crazier everytime I open your channel. Great! Keep going!

[@leandrusguy144]

bro got all the flags in 30 minutes

[@rudraprataptomar2037]

The baby's reaction was worth to watch ❤️❤️

[@Zophuh]

When I finished this video I was surprised it did not have over 1 million views. Great Video!

[@akosibrothercoolpzzle123]

I just realized I freaking recognize 67 countries and can name all of them, but I didn't even know where or how I knew all the names of those, and it's actually pretty fun to be able to name every country that has been stuck in your brain.

[@akosibrothercoolpzzle123]

Now, I must remember each country's capital.

[@beforedrrdpr]

when we used to read in kindergarten we were told to learn all the capitals of the world, and now it seems it has paid off

[@lifeofupendi]

Dope video, hope you change your mind about at least coming to Orlando in October

[@NelsonDellis]

I’ll be there!

[@lifeofupendi]

@@NelsonDellis Awesome! See you then dude.

[@schizoash]

Was trying to memorise and saw this video suggestion and i think you have a good brain already

[@user-io2rd8xi7x]

I want to see you learn the positioning of countries in the map too

[@teamnkt3975]

I’ve been waiting for this one

[@blobbertower9827]

Cool intro, by the way

[@ThePizzaMan-rr3ir]

Hey bro. I would be really interested seeing you learn all the capitals of the world!

[@KelseyTerhune-Cotter-im5xy]

Awesome video, I’ve been doing the tricks stuff too Your suggestions were great

[@a2rhombus2]

I need to do the flags. I memorized every country a while back and it was a lot of fun, never thought I'd get addicted to geography My own personal tip if you do more geography in the future - break it down into continents! It's a lot easier to memorize 54 things in africa than going straight for the entire world

[@Strato-ek5zi]

Goated fr 🙏

[@nathensprings3470]

Hilarious like 5 mins after watching a video thumbnail popped up with the Angola flag on it and I knew what it from this video.

[@Colm1173]

Great Vid

[@tdiogo_gamer]

Great video! I gonna try this someday Also, have you memorized all pokemons?

[@NelsonDellis]

I have not! Good idea though haha

[@tdiogo_gamer]

hi, today i finally finished the 197 flags! it took my 4 days

[@Dipovinnana]

interesting note: i'm doing this in order to become color neutral at cubing. if i can associate 3 colors in an order (flag and cube orientation) than I will be color neutral in solving in no time. Nelson, did you do this as well? I see your cube laying around

[@professordawson8020]

Did anyone notice a scrambled Rubik's cube on his table. Now I get to know why he has the best memory ever. Legit

[@MarinoMoons]

Oh I'll do this challenge to! but first I need to take the flags out I already know. Oh..oh yeah that's every flag! I already know all the flags.

[@dbonk6264]

You could take it to a new step, similar to how you memorise a deck of cards ðere is a flag set of flash cards, can be purchased on Amazon so, remembering ðe countries and ðeir flag in order from a randomly shuffled deck. Little Wigwam do one ðat’s got 216 flags. I’m sure you can get similar ones for each of ðe 50 states of America flags too.

[@i12k-d321]

question can you ever try to memorize page of book by using POA system for letters? like memorizing for example first 3 or first 6 letters with POA system, i was wondering if it will make word-by-word memorization of page much faster.

[@superscienceshow]

Have you memorized rubik cube CFOP algorithms? There are about 70 of them. That would be a good speed run.

[@NelsonDellis]

I know a lot of them, but never outright set out to memorize them all in one sitting. Cool idea for a challenge! I’ll consider it :)

[@CaptainWumbo]

I'd be really curious what kind of review you do when you want to hold onto knowledge. You mentioned spaced repetition (presumably expanding spaced repetition), but I've found after awhile I start only retaining around 2/3rds on a doubling interval rhythm, and the ones I remember I'm not really recalling the image I made for it. I'm pretty good at getting stuff into short term memory for a week or so, but I'd love to know what you do to hold onto stuff. Just shorter intervals? Of course it's best to use what you know in real contexts, but sometimes for one reason or another we want to hold onto something we don't have an opportunity to use yet (chinese characters lol ☹)

[@elessar11]

14:22 or you know, French Fries for France 😅

[@Gmackematix]

Seafaring folk know that red is port and green is starboard so it seems odd that the flag of the seafaring nation of Portugal has these the other way round...or maybe they are just heading towards us!

[@raspbear3486]

In the last test that you did, where you got 100% you just had to type in the name of a country and I got automatically assigned to the flag. so technically you just proofed with this test that you know what every country is called but not necessarily which flag is linked to that country

[@watpo__5440]

You're wrong. In JetPunk there are some quizzes that have a yellow color on the answer's box. As you may see in the first shot, when he types Australia, there is a yellow box under the flag of Australia.

[@Makiaveliiste]

1. 2:42 it's not ghana, it's cameroon. 2. 12:05 👍👍👍👍👌👌👌👌 Did you guys know that "french fries" were invented in Belgium. He said Belgian fries, that's the real ways to call them !

[@NelsonDellis]

Yup! I know that now 😎

[@Gmackematix]

For me, the yellow star on the red background indicates a "Camera on" and green and yellow either side to complete the Pan-African colours.

[@Gmackematix]

Another video for Belgium pointed out that if you try to cook waffles, they first come out black, then golden, then you can add strawberries. It's also the French flag with blue and white turned black and yellow.

[@tess_2608]

Learning too, I wanna try to memorize all flag so I can travel the world

[@emmap8509]

I got 22 on my first test (no i’m not american). Started learning all the flags because some kid in my class can do it and I want his ego to go down !!! Good luck to me. He said he learned it all in one week. That’s probably gonna be impossible for me but wish me luck.

[@emmap8509]

i got 74 on my second test. This is such an improvement for me and It’s been day 3

[@Athirascrap]

I always get confused between Romania and Chad.

[@NelsonDellis]

It’s super tricky especially because some websites actually don’t get the colors correct. Chad has a more drab, darker blue. That’s the way I remember it

[@Athirascrap]

@@NelsonDellis Thank you! I'll try to pay closer attention but it seems very hard without having them side by side especially after some time has passed. I learned the flags using anki, but when both of these show up after a couple of months for review its always a tossup.

[@Gmackematix]

Chad is sometimes called the Heart of Darkness and its blue is very dark.

Czech Republic is one of the red blue flags 😂😂🇨🇿

[@NelsonDellis]

Very true, but not one of the ones solely made of stripes

[@Gmackematix]

The Czech flag is the Russian one but the blue has been squished out by the white and red to make a triangle at the side.

No disrespect as I love your videos and I know it’s all just about committing things to memory…but those are some lazy stereotypes

Sorry, what are you referring to exactly?

[@Gmackematix]

Lazy stereotypes are a great way of memorising things. The more triggering and wrong, the more likely the memory will stick! 😉
