🌎Memorize all Countries and Capitals with Memory Techniques: #7 Honduras - Tegucigalpa

We begin by creating a artifial order on the map to easily identify a path of how we are arranging the otherwise random countries into an ordered list. This will allow us to learn all countries in our own artifical order by connecting them to the classic Major System, the most popular memory technique for numbers. This series will assume that you have already learned this technique. But even without it you will be able to connect country with capital and find it on the map. Our first continent is America, starting in the north. We will then go south in wavy lines. This is why Honduras got the number seven on our list.

The easiest way to be able to identify a country on the map is by associating the shape with something similar looking. These visuals don't work for everybody initially but usualy as soon as you can follow a certain description your brain will adjust and hence forth you will see it right away.

Honduras looks a bit like a UFO from the side. Can you see it, too?

To order our countries and list them later one by one we will use the classic Major System to translate numbers into images. Please replace my image below with your own if you like. You can also leave out this entire step if you are not interested in listing all countries from memory.

Some countries are easier and more commonly known while others have difficult names and are rather unheard of. We will encode all of them into phonetically similar images which will help us to remember them much easier.

We are doing the same for the capital as we did with the country: We translate the name into a phonetically similar image.

The final step is to connect all four images for the shape, the number, the country-name and the capital-name. The beauty of this system is that you can connect these images in any order you like and it will be easy to remember any of the other elements by triggering one of the others. Try to visualize each story with your imagination and repeat the information a few times to make the memory stronger.

In the Gucci bag sits the gal while her dad is racing with her in a Honda. All of a sudden there is a cow standing on the street mooing at them. The pa is turning the wheel hard and the fly through the air. In mid air they ars topped by a tractor beam of a UFO and slowly hover up.
