It's interesting that you mentioned the memory palace. I was reading the Memory Palace of Matteo Ricci as I was thinking about how to go about memorizing entire books. The 'Roman Room' method seems to be virtually the same idea as the memory palace. One difference though is that the roman room involves using a real room rather than an imagined one. However as Kewms mentioned, each sentence flows directly into the next sentence. I've found frequent listening/reading (with full comprehension) to be a good way to get a major overview of the story. After a few times, by attempting to memorize short portions at a time, the task is quite simple, though not necessarily instant. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Uhm... what exactly is the L-R method? I could make a qualified guess, but I'd rather know for sure ;) 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||

By the way...I suppose this may be obvious, but it may not be for some:
I think it's important that the memorized content be fully comprehensible. Prior to applying this memorizing approach to languages, I've tried memorizing random phrases/expressions, which I was able to recite, yet I did not completely understand what I was reciting. This ultimately made me feel like I was not learning. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Interesting method. I once tried to memorize "The Raven" by Edgar Allan Poe, but I gave up after 4 verses. I guess my brain is no use for that.
Still, can someone suggest stuff to memorize in Swedish or Spanish? 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

In Spanish I like: El Conde Lucanor by Don Juan Manuel The stories are short, pithy, and very straightforward. and I love the sayings at the end of each Cuento. 3 persons have voted this message useful | |||

Hmm.. a similar discussion had been going on at antimoon.com here and here.
One particular person had listened to and read a chinese textbook 20 times which resulted in naturally memorizing the content. -Jason 1 person has voted this message useful |
