Yesterday, we had an IE III Listening class, and my video presentation was about how to improve one’s memory.
I prefer memorizing by ear. For instance, when I memorize English words, I listen to pronunciation and example sentence, not just looking at it.
I don’t know the reason why it works. But for me, learning by ear worked better than other methods. I think children who acquiring their native language are also learning in this way.
The other classmates preferred method like, looking at it over and over, writing it again and again, a lot kind of different approaches.
The video said that to improve your memorizing ability, First, you have to decide to remember it. Then, use creativity and imagination and make an association to something on your mind. Finally, you practice them.
I didn’t know the method of making an association, I think it’s interesting idea.
I think memorizing is important for all of us since we’re forced to memorize something everyday. What’s your favorite method?
