Hi Alex, these videos are great. Thank you! However, what was the third word in this video? Papyule? Cap-mule?? The audio is soft, and it's not very clear. Could you perhaps list it in the description? Thanks again!

Hi Alex, thanks for your video!! What do you do if you have to remember a list of say 500 vocab. over the course of a month, and then for another course you have to remember 200 words. Having only 5 places per room I would run out of space pretty quickly, and if I reused the rooms after awhile they would all be mixed up and I wouldn't know what list the word belonged to.
