03.10. 16:48 page 45/137 (137 = 1500 words)
30 min : 114 words 54/137 :-) that was a good run!
ouais je pense que je les connais bien (?) x)
Test me! I memorize these cards here at the moment http://www.sprachposter.de/kk1.html
it s a free download. I got to page 54/137 now, started memorizing two days ago, but only spent like 3 hours now for real. Got some motivational issues, lol. :)
Here's what I do:
Use the art of mnemonics. I am a memoryartist.. I learned to memorize a pack of 52 cards in 1:30 minutes etc.
1. Take one word-card ~ 10-20 words
2. look at the first word
example: convaincre - überzeugen (=convince)
3. Find similarly sounding words
example: Spanish: con = avec/with, vain = vino, cre = ..
über = above, zeugen = witnesses
4.choose a location
example: door of fence next to my house
4. Combine the words into a picture
example: People whom I remember to be witnesses stand at the fencedoor near my house
2 guys float above their heads in the air, drinking wine.
The whole process takes me about 1-3 seconds per new vocabulary/word
I go through a list of words for a fixed ammount of time..
at the moment i am setting my clock to 30 minutes, and make it a race to memorize as much as possible during that period of time.
After I finished converting one card of words into pictures(again ~20 words)
I take a sheet of white paper, and write down all the words from the card, both french and German, on the paper.
I do this without looking at the card.. just from memory :-)
Then I take a few seconds to fill in the few which I missed. And move on to the next card.
I daresay I know 90% by heart off all the words I memorized till now.
Except maybe for a few spelling errors here and there, which i am going to correct when i repeat the whole list of words, when i am done memorizing all.
I slacked yesterday and the day before, and i only started two days ago.. so i still got about 1000 words left for today and tomorrow... that s gonna be some good work!! =)
p.s.: one repetion cycle is much shorter than one with common methods.. because all i need to do is sprint through the pictures in my head and look up those pictures that are missing or uncomplete or of unknown meaning-.

this thread should probably be in the learning log section
.. next run!
03.10. 17:32 page 60/137 (137 = 1500 words)
20 min : 72 words ran out of printed cards after 20 minutes ^^.. got to reprint some.
I am really tired, but I got to get to at least 90 today, if i want to beat the challenge tomorrow! :-)

Interesting method. It reminds me of the technique I am currently using to remember
Chinese and Japanese characters, with the help of James Heisig's books. He teaches you
how to break the characters down into smaller chunks and remember a story or mental image
that ties all the chunks together and attaches that to the meaning of the character.
