Nothing is more valuable than the benefit of hindsight from someone with experience, especially if you want to become a mnemonics dictionary.
I know because I've been there. I used to struggle.
Big time.
But then something changed.
And these days, many people marvel at how rapidly I toss out powerful mnemonic examples on demand.
The truth:
I trained myself to do it.
And I've trained thousands of others since then to unlock this simple power.
The only problem is…
A lot of people never reach their goal of being about to pop out reliable Magnetic Imagery (a.k.a. mnemonic imagery) because they get the impression that creating mnemonics is too hard.
(That's too bad, because the truth is, you don't even have to have a dictionary full of images in your mind in order to mnemonics to work.)
People also worry that creating effective mnemonics takes too much time, even though all the evidence in the world shows that if you'll just learn the skill, it gets faster and faster.
Here's What Most Unsuccessful People Do…
They go running all over the Internet looking for a mnemonic generator or mnemonics dictionary, never understanding that true skill with memory techniques comes from honing your "mnemonics psychology," a.k.a memory improvement mindset.
And let's not even try to dodge one basic truth:
Becoming a person who can create useful mnemonics on the fly (even faster than they can create an impromptu Memory Palace) requires some personal power.
After all, you're summoning up the best powers of your imagination, after all. And that takes…
A Magnetic Fountain Of Mental Energy!
The truth is that getting started can feel like effort.
And some beginners with mnemonics need more energy than others.
But here's the thing:
The effort needed when using memory techniques like a Memory Palace all amount to a special kind of effort.
A kind of effort that is not only easy and fun to employ, but one that gets easier over time as you transform into a mnemonics dictionary.
What Is A Mnemonics Dictionary?
Basically, most mnemonics dictionaries serve as a crutch.
Some mnemonics dictionaries show you pictures that will help you remember words. They could be for medical terminology or help remembering vocabulary while learning a language.
For Chinese, Chineasy essentially serves that function. I've made my own version for MandarinHQ's Real Spoken Chinese Vault with special video walkthroughs.
But the difference between Chineasy and the kind of mnemonics dictionaries I create is this:
Whereas others tend to throw you piles of mnemonic examples on end without helping you understand your mnemonic style, I teach you the skill behind creating the mnemonics.
Not only so you can develop your own mnemonics dictionary for a language you're studying or a particular body of expertise.
But so that you actually understand how your memory and imagination work and can ultimately teach these simple skills to others.
That leads to pure happiness. Seriously, just look at these smiles:
Best part?
When you learn how to fish instead of letting someone fish for you, the reduction in effort happens fast.
And you come to understand one fundamental truth most people don't know:
You're Using Mnemonics All The Time Anyway!
You just don't realize it.
And you probably don't have a positive outloo
