高 has my new favorite meaning mnemonic

高: Imagine yourself saying how tall and expensive you are to everyone in the room. Then they use a lid to cover your mouth so you can’t talk to anyone anymore. But, then your mustache starts talking, saying the same thing. That’s why this lid covers both your mustache and your mouth. Now you can’t say that you are tall or expensive.

I find this one so outlandish and funny, and it just keeps escalating. Sometimes, I read these, and I find myself thinking that the insanity is too much. But I still take basically every one to heart. Only a handful of times have I thought of my own just because some things are easier that way.

I think you need a certain level of creativity to be able to make all these insane mnemonics. I find this method in general so interesting and it’s been working for me for sure. I suppose I need to work on really sitting there and imagining the scenarios though as sometimes I just plow right through.

Anyway, this is half an appreciation post, and half to spread the love for those who may be beyond this level and forgot, or those who have yet to come across this gem. Hope everyone’s been doing well!

It never fails to amaze me how powerful a device mnemonics can be!

I very much agree. It’s been amazing using them for better recall than maybe anything I’ve ever studied.
