For example, if an author has to write a minimum or maximum amount of words for an article, essay, report, story, book, paper, you name it. Knowing the word count of a text can be important.

Thank you so much for this discussion and sorry for my bad english, as you’ve guess, I’m not native.Apart from counting words and characters, our online editor can help you to improve word choice and writing style, and, optionally, help you to detect grammar mistakes and plagiarism. In other words, once you’ve filled up your MT with some information, do you let your palace like this? Do you create a new one ? Let’s say that you’ve got a MT with 20 locis and you’ve put vocab words or sequentials things, could you use the SAME MT and Loci to put other vocab words? Or do you need to create a new MT each time you want to add new words ? I’m asking that because my total vocab list is about 3000 words. Last but not least, I’ve got a question regarding memory palaces. Could you tell me more about that? I’m gonna do my own researches but I would like to know your way of thinking. You were also talking about the “Big Five Of Language Learning”.
TAGAINI JISHO SEE TOTAL NUMBER OF WORDS HOW TO
Thank you.Īs tracym said, I thought that MT were only usefull in remembering sequential data, that’s why I don’t know how to use it for vocabulary lists where the order doesn’t matter.However, as you said Metivier, it looks like there is a way to use them in a efficient manner, could you tell me about it ?Ĭoncretely, when I want to remember a word, I have to remember the english and japanese pronunciation, meaning + kanjis (and I’ve to divide complex kanji into smaller parts). It sounds like you know about many resources I do not, can you share them? For example, I have not seen what you mean by optimizing your palaces, The Big Five of Language Learning, or the Stubborn Quintile. So all that I said above may be completely wrong or irrelevant. Indeed, I have mainly just looked at the notable threads in this forum and some surrounding sites.

Having said all that, I have not even come close to throughally researching language learning or even the small area of the use of mnemonic techniques in memorizing vocabulary. Which is needed in order to really determine which is actually best for differing circumstances instead of blindly recommending our preferred method to everyone who even comes close to language learning. In addition, I have not heard of any big rigorous tests and comparisons between the major vocabulary learning methods, including traditional methods and mnemonic techniques. While you say that it is a well established method I think it is practically unknown to the public. I have said eariler in this thread and multiple other places that the effectiveness of MTs for vocabulary, and the effectiveness of the MoL vs association, is an area that is woefully unexplored. It can be a tool reserved for just trickier words.Ĭould you explain a little bit more, or give a link where you explain more? I am extremely interested in this topic and would like to experiment with this technique and any others I can find. In other words, you don’t have to go to the Memory Palace for all vocabulary. Note too that many established polyglots who prefer more traditional rote learning in terms of flash cards will go to the Memory Palace technique for what they call “the Stubborn Quintile.” But for those who take a shine to this approach, it’s very successful for them. This approach isn’t for everybody because you need to take a step back and learn the methodology. There are a few other issues one can face, but if you follow a few simple steps and make sure you’re using multiple Memory Palaces that are well-formed, you’ll be able to memorize loads of vocabulary quickly and in a way that boosts your fluency. The other is that they’re not using the Memory Palaces to help place the vocabulary + phrases into long term memory using what I call The Big Five Of Language Learning. One is that they’re not optimizing their Memory Palaces for vocabulary memorization.

There are a few issues that people face with this technique, however. Memory Palaces can be tremendously helpful for vocabulary if you use them in a particular way and this is a well-established practice.
