Hints advice on memorising facts,figures...?

now I find advice on memorising figures but still good to know and easy 0= ball or ring 1=pen 2=swan 3=handcuffs 4= yacht (my favourite) 5 = pregnant woman 6= pipe 7= boomerang 8 = snowman 9 = tennis racket then if you need to memorise a series of numbers you can make an unforgettable story ( thanks to may issue of readers digest)

Update:

sorry about the spelling no spelling check when asking or not obvious and Eglish was my 3rd laguage so forgive

Update 2:

question appeared twice as there was a clich so I must have pressed it again thinking that it hadn't worked the first time.

    three basic types:

    one: simple memorizing

    two: mnemonics

    three: make your own techniques

    i use the third one. like drawing a diagram or formulating a word. mnemonics is also advisable. i heard that mnemonics made a student graduate as top of her class. :D

    We had to do memory passages in severe college...I memorized sixty 4 lines from hamlet, and that's how i did it.... write the 1st sentence like 5 circumstances or something....then turn to a clean web page and write the 1st and 2d sentence 5 circumstances...etc etc. in case you don't get it exact you should commence over. Its the finest way i've got got here upon to memorize something, however your hand does get incredibly drained after a whilst.

    Thanks for the tip but my brain probably can't handle that either. I did want to share this with you.

    Years ago I was writing out a check to the electric company and I asked my then teen age daughter to read off the long account # to me because she was sitting at the table with me.

    A month later I did the same and asked her again to read it. She rattled it off without looking. I got onto her and told her it had to be accurate-'read it' I said. She replied 'I read it last time'.

    Turns out she can't forget numbers but now she says it's a handicap.

    Is it ironic that you asked the same question twice within minutes of each other? Did you forget?

    Not a criticism, just an observation.

    don't sweat the spelling at least you didn't text it.

    Associating works for me.

    Great! Now if you can memorize how to spell correctly, you will have it made.
