Example memory system: Memorise a pair of cards as a word which describes two cards by the way it sounds..

Imagine that you deal an Ace of Hearts and then a 3 of Hearts [this is represented below in the graphic image: Ace Heart .. Heart 3]; the pair of cards become the word 'DeeN'.

ie. An Ace always has a 'D' sound; the suits of the two cards become a vowel sound [if both cards are hearts then the sound is 'ee'];

An ace of hearts followed by a 3 of hearts creates a D sound, an ee sound an N sound

the second card's numeral is an ending sound: you take the first sound, the vowel sound and the ending sound [a 3 card is always an 'N'] to make a word.

D + ee + N = DeeN . 'Deen' is easier to memorise than 'Ace of Hearts then 3 of Hearts ..

Impress friends by looking at 3 pairs of cards and learning them as three words. They will be amazed that you can memorise 6 cards in sequence so quickly!
