The Spanish Help for Your Child You Won’t Find at School

2016-10-22T09:06:06+00:00

Your child wouldn’t need Spanish help if they used the right approach to learning a language. The problem is schools don’t usually include comics and mnemonics in their teaching methods. Maybe it’s time they did. “What’s the most important skill for a beginning Spanish student?” If you ask Jim Sarris, Spanish teacher for 15 years, he’ll say, “The ability to memorize.”

Ron White Memory Expert Gives Memory Tips

2016-10-22T08:53:05+00:00

Trust your memory! One of the best tips I received from World Memory Champion Ben Pridmore was to trust my memory. I would tell him that I could memorize a deck of cards in about 2 minutes and I wanted to get faster. His advice to me was to trust my memory more. He said, ‘Go faster and just trust that your memory will remember it.’ That was precious advice to me as I became the national memory champion.

My Second Memory Tournament

2016-10-22T09:06:09+00:00

With the experience of 2008 behind me I was not focused on becoming the national memory champion. It is no secret that I am proud to be an American and to represent my country in the national tournament for my sport was an enticing idea. My strategy sessions for the 2009 tournament began about two months after the 2008 tournament in May of 2008. My first order of business was to email David Thomas (the former Guinness Record Holder for memorizing pi to 20,000). When I had met David a few months prior at the 2008 USA Memory Championship he said he was willing and ready to share his 'unbeatable' strategy for the tournament with anyone who would listen but no one had ever taken him up on the offer. I certainly wasn't above asking for help and I did just that by emailing David.

Competing in memory competitions is very exciting for me. Every year in March Tony Dottino hosts the USA Memory Championship in New York City.

Memorize 400 Digits of Pi

2016-10-22T09:06:05+00:00

This is a fascinating article for me. It does require background knowledge of what in the memory work is referred to as 'The Major System' in regards to memorizing numbers, however fortunately this site has links to explain that. If you would like to have a really cool ability to say Pi to 400 digits I do think this article on memory training and Pi is worth the read and the effort...

Meet Ron White, the Texas-Born Memory Champ You’ll Never Forget

2016-10-22T08:53:05+00:00

White, an all-American-looking 35-year-old with strawberry-blond hair, blue eyes and dimples, had traveled to Australia to deliver a speech on memory, and, as usual, he dedicated his free time to becoming the No. 1 memorizer in the United States. He put on his mask and snorkel, breathed in and out a few times and grabbed the deck of plastic playing cards from the side of the pool. He started his stopwatch and submerged himself. If he could memorize the order of this deck in close to two minutes underwater, he had it made. Trying to keep his breathing steady without letting it distract him, he flipped through the cards. Each one evoked an image in his mind: the king of hearts was his mother, the jack of hearts was Madonna singing, the five of spades was a friend named Sally whispering into a flip chart.
