I've been using this system for awh...Hi Serge,<br /><br />I've been using this system for awhile now and got fairly good results.<br /><br />I'm just wondering though, what was the reason to associate "NG" and "ng" with the letters ح and ه, respectively? Although this sound/spelling exists in English but never at the start of a word so I'm having a bit of a problem coming up with a keyword to memorize words such as حكم, حرج, حاليًّا, or حساب.<br /><br />I ended up reassociating ح to "CH" and ه to "ch". Since "ch, CH" was previously used for خ, I reassociated it to "p, P". I also switched ج to only associate with "j, J" and ش to only associate with "sh, SH". It seems to work better for me this way.<br /><br /><br />Kim<br />Kim Phuong Tranhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09450311269558632442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9119556443379822876.post-8657015523797447642016-09-04T18:40:16.479-04:002016-09-04T18:40:16.479-04:00Check out the new post!

One of those things was implementing my Arabic vocabulary system. Coincidentally, I just started working on the post you are looking for yesterday. It is a simple idea, and with luck I can get the post out soon!<br /><br />Russian is a different case from Arabic, less systematic in a way (and more like English). Certainly mnemonics can be used, but more on an ad hoc basis. I would suggest starting with the relevant section of a "standard" book on memory such as Lorayne's How to Develop a Super-Power Memory. I can offer some specific suggestions for Russian and similar languages in a future post, but I don't see a role for an elaborate system such as I use for Arabic or Chinese.<br /><br />I do have a half-finished post on perfect and imperfect verbs in Russian....Serge Gorodishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11613119860758025964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9119556443379822876.post-11155215763885711642016-09-01T05:21:45.135-04:002016-09-01T05:21:45.135-04:00Hello Serge, I've been reading your post with ...Hello Serge, I've been reading your post with a lot of interest, but as much as I've tried, I still can't quite figure out how you deal with the representation of the pattern ! In other words I'm dying to see your next post on the subject. Would you be so kind as to give us all aspiring memory masters a hint about your method here ?<br />By the way, do you think such a learning strategy could be adapted to Russian vocabulary ?<br />Thank you very much.Charlesnoreply@blogger.com
