Foreign Language Learning Tip#3: Using Mnemonics

Foreign Language Learning in Bhubaneswar

When it comes to learning foreign languages, mnemonics can be very useful for quick learning. Now, many of you might wonder what mnemonics are, but don’t worry they aren’t anything you already don’t know about. ‘Mnemonics’ is derived from the word Mnemosyne, the Greek goddess of memory and is basically any device that is used to memorize a piece of information, just like a formula.

In our childhood days we’re generally introduced to new topics in mathematics with the help of an overall formula or a standard equation to make ourselves used to its concept. Similarly in learning languages there are formulas too, that work which may remain invisible but can prove to be handy when used properly. Today at Mr. Class Foreign Dialects classes we learn the importance of mnemonics in learning languages.

WORKING PRINCIPLE OF HUMAN MEMORY

Tony Buzan, the author of ‘Moonwalking with Einstein’ says that imagination has a vital role in developing one’s memory. He further explains that through the years we have always considered human memory as a device in which in order to get imprinted, we need to continuously fill it with facts. But in recent years we have learnt that human memory works in an imaginative process and thus, learning, memory and creativity follow the same process in a human mind in a different focus.

MNEMONICS AND HOW TO MAKE THEM WORK

Now, since the memory works in an imaginative process, the art of developing memory is the ability to quickly recall or create images that link different ideas together and therein lies creativity that makes a similar connection between the ideas and creating something entirely new and original. For Example: Once you started Mr.Class Spanish Learning Classes in Bhubaneswar, you’re introduced to the word ‘amigos’. Suppose your trainer says that ‘amigos’ means friends and he/she wants you to visualise your best friends with the word, whom you already know. So, when after a week or a month as soon as you recall the word, you recall the memory associated with it and you learnt the word in the best way possible by recalling the feeling, the charm of your friendship.

CREATING MNEMONICS

Creating Mnemonics entirely depends upon your own imaginative and creative ability. The speed at which you create a memory is something you can refine yourself at your home or your workplace. But remember, once you achieve finesse in creating mnemonics along with some basic memory tips, you can go long ways in learning a language in the best way possible. And we, at Mr. Class Foreign Language Institute strive to make the experience a learning process itself!
