Foreign Language Learning Tip #4: Visualising Words

Foreign Language Learning in Bhubaneswar

Now you know all about ‘Mnemonics’ (read our previous blog: Foreign Language Learning Tip #3: Mnemonics to know more) and the way it can be used to learn a foreign dialect for the long run. But then how to make the system more efficient?

At Mr. Class’ Foreign Language Learning institute in Bhubaneswar, we believe in consistency. When it comes to remembering and enhancing memory, Visualisation is a technique used by the experts for remembering long strings of numbers, alphabets or even long words in memory contests.

The author of ‘Success With Foreign Languages: Seven Who Achieved it and What Worked for Them’, Earl Stevick says that no matter what kind of imagery comes naturally to you, either emotional or visceral; Visualisation technique is worth-trying. While learning a foreign dialect when you take a break and start associating a word or a phrase into imagery, it makes the understanding better with a scope of development in the future.

Joshua Foer, the author of the book ‘Moonwalking with Einstein’ says that world’s best orators remember long speeches from point-dots rather by word to word, as it gives them plenty of options to explore themselves and present it to the audience in the best way possible. Each image for the topics to be covered when placed in the context of the speech makes it not only easy to understand but also rich in efficiency and valid arguments.

Did you know the word ‘topic’ has been derived from the Greek word ‘topos’ which means place? How do we remember, you ask? Well, isn’t it obvious that we visualised the meaning of the word and placed it perfectly align to the reason behind its meaning, which itself justifies the context?

Generally all the memory-enthusiasts vouch for a method known as “method of loci” which is supposed to be 2500 years old. Generally in ancient Greece, whenever there was a shortage of Papyrus, the Greeks would create an imaginary space in their minds and fill it with imageries of whatever they want to remember and in this way even information about Mathematics, Literature and other significant subjects were passed on from ages to ages. The Romans further refined the same process and still consider it essential to remember sermons and verses from the Bible even though it is already printed in pages as they believe it keeps one’s faith unshaken.

Once you start taking TOEFL training classes in Bhubaneswar or even Spanish learning classes in Bhubaneswar at Mr. Class’, you need to realise the importance of developing a good memory, since all the magic happens in it.
