Five Tricks to Make Your Memory Better

We forget names and numbers so easily, except our favorite songs or nursery rhymes from childhood. Music helps us memorize things well. If you want to learn a foreign language, try training with music videos with words of this language. Generally speaking, singing can help improve our brain.

Create mnemonic pegs(助记符) to remember long lists

Even without the music background, you can use rhyme and rhythm to remember things like shopping lists or lists oral the US capitals. You can build a connection between the items and the things that rhyme. For example. l is a gun(imagine le fist tem being fired from a gun), 2 is a shoe (imagine the second item inside a shoe) and so on.

Take care of your health and learn new skills
