Would you like to be able to give a speech directly from memory?
It's an amazing skill, after all, and something many people in business need to be able to do in more than one language.
Since ancient times people have been using Memory Palaces to give their speeches. In fact, as Jim Samuels has talked about, we get the convention of saying "in the first place" in a speech from the Roman orators who were using Memory Palaces.
Well, let me ask you this:
What If You Don't Have To Give A Speech From A Memory Palace On Its Own For Your Speech To Benefit From Using Memory Techniques?
Sunil Khatri raised this question in my mind when he wrote to me after giving this speech:
I was so impressed by Sunil's explanation of how he used the Magnetic Memory Method and Memory Palaces to help him with the speech, that I asked if he would record an episode of the Magnetic Memory Method Podcast.
He agreed! As you'll learn, you can get great benefits from memorizing a speech in advance, even if you still recite it from the page.
The same thing is true of reading from a teleprompter, which the best directors and producers always advise people giving speeches to do: Know where you're going, but don't appear like you're recalling during delivery. It looks weird.
I'm super-excited by Sunil's results and look forward to hearing your stories of triumph when you use the Magnetic Memory Method to help prepare for your next big speech.
Episode Transcript
Anthony, thank you very much for giving me the opportunity to talk about some of the things I've been doing with the Magnetic Memory Method. I just also wanted to also say thank you very much for the support that you've given me directly through email interaction has been really, really useful and amazing.
I started learning Korean maybe a little over a year ago I would say and mostly for work purposes. I've been traveling back and forth to Korea, and it is a really tough language in my opinion. When I started studying, I would read things like verb conjugations. There could be up to 500 verb conjugations based on the level you are at in society, in your office, your age group, all of these different things come into play in the written language and speech. It was pretty tough.
I started learning and for the 6 months it was through rote memorization, flashcards, and things like that. Then I was trying to figure out is there a better way. Because I had spent the better part of 6 to 7 years learning Japanese and it was all through rote memorialization and talking to people and so forth.
I came across your website and from one link to another to another and it ended up being at your site. I took your intro classes and so forth and it was actually pretty good. Then I started reading up on Memory Palaces more and things like that.
"Korean Words Just Sort Of Magically Appeared In My Brain As I Was Talking … I No Longer Use Flashcards"
What happened was about 6 to 7 months ago, I think that was the first time we communicated, I basically started building a small Memory Palace and expanding that. Korean words just sort of magically appeared in my brain as I was talking, as I was remembering to the point where I gave up using flash cards. I no longer use flash cards.
I put everything into an Excel spreadsheet and categorize them based on my Memory Palace. I come up with a mnemonic picture, crazy picture, whatever it is and associate the word to that crazy picture and there it is. I go through my Excel spreadsheet once a day to put it into long-term memory and it's been amazing.
