The ultimate 2500 year old memory technique

 Learn with MEND Education how to use this timeless technique to memorise in a fun and easy way. Get your playfulness on and open yourself to having fun! It's called a memory palace ...people store memory in space. So we associate information with a place or location. That is why it might be easy to learn at school in a specific classroom but it might be difficult to focus on studies at home in the kitchen. Therefore take a place that you are familiar with and then you allocate certain items in the place you choose are place rankings (first place, second place, third place, etc.). Then you turn the thing you want to remember into an image and put it in the place where you want it. This is the memory, easy as PIE. P refers to place, I refers to imagine and E refers to entwine.  Use your body for the first exercise as your reference places (P). First place is the top of your head, so go ahead and touch this area of your head and say loudly "top". Second place is your nose,

 These are some insights from Dr. Caroline Leaf and Jimmy Kwik. Which labels do you have or accept about yourself? Which things do you accept as "this is just the way I am"? What is it that you say to yourself in your mind? Where are these beliefs coming from? What are you thinking or saying to yourself when negative or positive things happen?

 Most of us had a second language at school and...I don't know about you but as for me, I have some issues recalling 90% of what I learned in that language class. It wasn't because of my teacher or the school or any of that, I just haven't been using the language consistently after those lessons stopped. This post will give you some tips that we at MEND Education have found to be the best ways to maintain our language or even to learn new languages, skills or subjects. Every journey starts with courage and a single step. Will you take your step? Language learning: It's very important that you decide what your learning goal is.

These are all questions that can help you figure out the real reason why you have started this language learning journey. Secondly , it's important to

I always felt bored and frustrated while in the school system and had the most fun during the homeschooled 4 years. I do not believe that homeschooling is the answer for all children at all, but it showed and taught me that school wasted a lot of my time by forcing me to follow the same pace as everyone else.
