I have found this post series to be extremely interesting, and I really admire the patience with which you establish the ideas, it’s kinda grounding, and reading this awakens in me a kind of conviction regarding the possibility of improving one’s memory to such great extents. I know it’s been some time since you wrote it, but I’m just going to put my question out there for some guidance.
I first got interested in developing an impeccable memory because of my love for learning languages, and the language I first picked was Japanese, and I believe there might be a way to include the technique of Mind Palace in that process of learning the various characters and the whole vocabulary. Or maybe creating images in the mind and remembering them with the particular sounds they consist of. But that sounds very complicated, and I’m not even sure what exactly I mean to do in that process.
Too far-fetched? Too naive?
I feared that this wouldn’t work with learning languages because how exactly do you associate the word in English with the sound (or the character) in your foreign language? If there is a way, then I’m not able to see it. Mnemonics work, but not always (or should I say not often?)
But anyway, this article series is really, really good and I’m glad I came across it. If not the Mind Palace, I’m definitely picking up some of those techniques for learning languages.
