The Phonetic Mnemonic System is one of the most useful systems for helping you memorize facts. Here are some sample facts that you can easily memorize using this system.
1. The tallest building in the world is Taipei 101, in Taiwan. It is 509 meters tall. Using the phonetic system, the number 509 translates to ‘lazy boy’. Picture a lazyboy chair balanced on the spire sticking out of the top of the building, or picture a very lazy boy taking a week to walk up the stairs to the top. Now, you can easily remember the height of the building.
2. On the periodic table, iron (Fe) has an atomic number of 26 which has the phonetic word of ‘notch’. Picture yourself trying to iron your clothes using an iron with a big notch cut into it.
3. The speed of sound is 340 meters per second. The phonetic keyword for 340 is ‘Mars’. Think up your own association between ‘sound’ and ‘Mars’ to remember this fact.
4. World War II started in 1939. You can use any of the following keywords: Top Mop, Tie Pump or if you ignore the century you can simply use ‘map’. Pick your favorite keyword and associate it with the war.
These are just some simple examples showing how easy it is to use the phonetic mnemonic system to more easily memorize facts. Try making up some on your own.
