Summary:
1. Read over the lines a few times
2. Write down the first letter of each word
3. Read it using first letters only
4. Try it from memory

Good luck! :)

This works so well. I had to memorize a 5 paragraph poem for english. I forgot until right before class, and memorized it in 10 mins. I got 95%

It’s a form of encoding specificity called transport-appropriate processing. Essentially, if the context during retrieval matches the context during memorization, it maximizes your rate of recall. In this case the first letters are cognitive cues that instantly link to your memory storage and pulls the info to your working memory.

As a drama student in high school this saved me. Memorised so many scripts with this and helped many of my peers. I’m in college now but saw your video years ago and with it popping up on my recommended recently again, I thought I’d drop back in to share my thanks ❤

[CobraAquinas]

Shit man I had to memorize four pages of a sales script in less than a day this is literally the only useful video I've found thanks so much. This has literally saved my career. like the one I pay bills with not the one where I wish I was peter pan and go to never ending auditions lmao. Thanks

This is insanely amazing. This is how I learned my huge monologues for the play I was in. I was the male lead, and had the most lines in a 3 act play, and this technique DOES WORK!

[SpinningSandwich]

This makes a lot of sense thru the lens of linguistic psychology. We process language differently when reading/listening/writing/speaking, and the first steps here involve reading, writing, and speaking. (It's important to speak the lines aloud!) The next layer is that we tend to process first letters/sounds more than the middle bits, so isolating the first letters serves as both a shorter mnemonic and as an additional way to process of the words. I'm sure someone working in the field could break it down further, but this jives with all the language learning science I've come across.

You can apply this to basically everything and elevate of it.

I learned a technique myself which helped me both memorize and spend little to no time on studying.
Over a 3 week period of 40 hours lessons i would spend 10 hours of those actually studying; and have 30 hours doing whatever i wanted.
- 7 hours went towards through going reading through the chapter and gathering all material i needed
- 1 hour at the end of the first week (friday) going over all the material
- 1.5 hours over 2 week period were spent reading through all material to keep it fresh
- 30 minutes were spent right before the test, quickly reading through everything and seeing how well me and my friend could keep a dialogue and motivate our reasoning on the questions

The Process
1. Listen to the teacher during the powerpoint Presentation
2. What the teacher just did, try it practically
3. Read the a chapter, go through what you just read in your mind.
4. Write down Key points of what you read
5. Make up questions on situations where it can be applied
6. Repeat until you are at the end
7. Write down Facts/definitions in simple form
8. Before a test Go through the Fact/definitions.
9. There should be little to none difficulty in answering the questions.
Bonus: For every question, make up a situation where the answer could be applied.

Example;
Question: How often does a car need Maintenance?
Answer: Every 8-12 Months is a procedual checkup
Example. The recommendations are 8-12 Months, but it varies *depending* on the *age of the car and millage*. Natural events can also be a benefactor, living close to the sea or in a area where sea salt is a common occurence can speed up the process of rust and deoxidation of the metal, prompting for Maintenance far more often than reguarly... yada yada yada.

Just simply providing the answer will land you a decent/good grade
Providing a nuanced case will make you seem interested in the subject and knowledgable, It's important to split the two, as the teacher first want to see if you know the answer, then if they are interested, read the case and see you are very knowledgable.

My dad taught me this method 27 years ago. I had to memorize Bible passages every week at school and I would use this technique exactly. As I said the passage i would rewrite the first letters as I went over and over. When test time came I had a visual in mind when I had to write out the passage. By high-school we had chapters at a time.

[kevinjones]

Excellent technique. I'd felt hopeless for years about memorizing anything verbatim, and this totally works with 90% less of the effort I had been expending to have lousy results. Thanks for sharing!

[estella]

Best memorization technique I've ever tried. I've been struggling to learn some texts for 3 days and with this technique I learnt them in one afternoon

[rademanmorgan]

Hey man I tried this method, but I couldn't memorize the bee movie script. Any other tips?

🤯🤯🤯🤯
Mind freakin BLOWN!! This will revolutionize my life!! I have a very hard time memorizing things, but I was able to repeat back everything right along with you! I had no idea there were actual techniques to memorizing things like this. Happy tears. I am going to look up the other technique you spoke of. God bless you!!!

[ah-truetalks]

Dude, I love quick solutions to major problems! I saw the title of your video and clicked it!! During the initial moments of the video, I began to think this method as same old, boring, long techniques to memorize! But eventually I found it new and interesting. Now, I am ready to give it a try and I am very hopeful that this method will work! Thanks Nelson! 😊🤩

[NelsonDellis]

Holy snap! This has become one of my best performing videos on this channel! THANK YOU TO ALL WHO WATCHED!

[racheltison]

I have very severe memory loss, ecspecially when it comes to vocabulary due to brain surgery. I wahad THE best memory and focus in the class before surgery. After surgery, I was on the very bottom, coming to testing and grading. I learned this years ago myself and I never would've survived. I know
other people with neurlgocal trauma who do this exact same technique . Like he said, it's not the first people who have discovered this, so I'm so happy that he can share this concept to people to *functional people who can go far in life, unlike me lbs*

[ryebread]

So awesome. I actually started doing this on my own in college one night I had to cram for an exam. It works very well for memorizing large amounts of materials. But it’s true that you need to do more work to keep it in your long term memory.

[cherylmC]

Thank you for sharing your video! I was preparing to jump ship from my first spanish class and stumbled on your video. I decided to try the method you demonstrate. It's been 10 minutes. IT WORKS. I can stay in this class and also electronics. Will thank you more properly and look forward to it!

I had a 17 line poem with hard/ old time english from Romeo and Juliet that I had to memorize by the next day. We had a month to memorize it and I slacked off the whole time till the final day. I used this method and Litterly memorized it in 25 minutes perfectly and got a 100! Thank you!
