Chapter Five: Example Memory Palace For the Letter A

I was once blessed with living down along a forest road. I’m not sure why my mind selected this house for the letter A, but I always think it best to go with whatever comes naturally. As I spent over a decade living there, my mind is very familiar with the location and it is therefore easy to through and chart out a number of locations for placing Swedish vocabulary words.

However, were the location not particularly familiar to me after a long absence, I have two option.

First, I could revisit the location. I’ve had one student in my video course tell me that they like to run their hand along the walls in each Memory Palace in order to strengthen the power – and Magnetism – of the Memory Palace.

But not all of us have the option of revisiting all of the locations we have become familiar with throughout our lives. In fact, most of the locations that are very useful for Memory Palace creation will be impossible to visit again due to having moved away, or it being a school or old workplace that would be awkward to visit (let alone run one’s hands along the walls of each room).

To re-familiarize yourself with an older Memory Palace, it’s simply a matter of taking a mental walk through the Palace and concentrating on making it Magnetic. You can do this by simply imagining it to be the case, or using a visual image that shows you what that place looks like when it is perfectly suited for storing Swedish vocabulary.

Trust in the power of your imagination to help you achieve your memorization goals.

Here are some of the stations, the Swedish words I have placed there and a description of the images I used to learn and memorize the words. But first, I should repeat that when doing memory work within a palace, I often like to group words together, at least when beginning with a new language.

In the examples that follow, I am focusing only on words that begin with “all.” This helps me use a famous figure to structure my journey through the various locations. The figure I used for “all” words is “Werid” Al Yankovic. I chose him because, when you think about it, he is already strange and memorable. At the very least, the images I can create by using him will definitely be strange because in nearly all cases, he will be completely out of context with respect to his standing as a public figure.

If Weird Al doesn't appeal to you (or you have no idea who he is), you could also pick Al Pacino as your bridging figure. Or maybe you have a friend named Al, or you remember that Paul Simon song “You Can Call Me Al.” Chevy Chase was in the music video, but you could use either him or Paul Simon.

The point is that our minds are filled to the brim with figures from history and pop culture.
