Memorising words - Memorising terms
Memorising words means to memorise as many words as possible. The words are random words like nouns, verbs and adjectives (singular or plural). It is useful to use a journey to remember the words successfully. It is not enough to use a history like in the children's game "I'm packing my suitcase and take the following things with me ...".
It is easier to memorise words than numbers or playing cards. The reason is that you do not need to convert the content first. You do neither need a Major-system nor a Card-System. A good journey is enough.
Now you can visualise the word and place it at the journey point. It will only become difficult if the word does not produce an image like such as "humour", "go" or "love." Singular and plural is also a bit tricky, you should pay attention to this. With a little practice you will surely find clear images. If you imagine the word "go", you can also think of "run", "jog", "pedestrian", "forest", "dog", "passer", etc ... be. You'll better understand it with a little practice.

now you place the words on the journey points
Here we’re going to take the first ten points of our “sample house journey”.
| Nr. | word / phrase | Journey point | short story |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | fountains | Stove | On the stove, a fountain of delicious pudding is bubbling over. |
| 2 | bottle post | Kitchen utensils | The kitchen utensils are kept in a bottle. It's a bit hard to get them out of the bottle. |
| 3 | coastal town | Salt & Pepper | We’ve brought salt and pepper as a souvenir from a coastal town, e.g. Hamburg. The form is also possibly based on one of Hamburg sights. |
| 4 | fried egg | Kitchen sink | The sink is so hot that we can fry an egg in it. It’s sizzling a lot. |
| 5 | blast | Plate | The plate was mined and we’re waiting for the blast. We’ve got full coverage so that we don’t get any shards. |
| 6 | musician | Microwave | When we open the microwave, we can see a little musician figure on the turntable who’s playing a song on his violin. |
| 7 | evening train | Refrigerator | There’s an illuminated train in the fridge. It’s illuminated because it’s an evening train. |
| 8 | bowl of fruit | Cappuccino Maker | There’s a bowl of fruit on the machine. The delicious apples and bananas look appetizing. |
| 9 | curtain | Bar stool | The cushion of the stool was sewn using a beautiful old red curtain. |
| 10 | handkerchief | Pan | The frying pan is hot, we’re going to take a handkerchief as a pot cloth. |
You also have the option to assign two or three words to each point of your journey. The advantage here is that there are more possibilities for funny stories. The disadvantage is that the order of things might not always be clear. You’ll find out which method is the best one for you through training.
Train words: Word sequence
The aim of this discipline is to memorise as many words as possible within 5 minutes. The words are arbitrary words like nouns, verbs and adjectives (singular or plural).
The evaluation is based on competition rules; If an error occurs in a row, you will only get half a point. If more than one error occurs, you will get no championship points at all.
For the advanced users or championship participants there is also the discipline Memorising Words in 15 minutes. This discipline is also part of the German Memory Championship and the World Memory Championship.
