Zipho Lunika's Memory DOJO

My Major System

The Major System is a mnemonic technique that converts numbers into consonant sounds, which can then be turned into words by adding vowels. This allows you to memorize numbers as vivid mental images.

How to Use the Major System:

  1. Convert numbers into consonant sounds using the chart
  2. Add vowels to form memorable words or phrases
  3. Create vivid mental images of these words
  4. Place these images in your memory palace

Example: To remember 1492 (Columbus' voyage), you might use: Tire (14) + Banana (92) - imagine Columbus sailing on a giant tire while eating a banana.
