Not helpful
Convoluted, to say the least. Possibly entertaining for someone who wants to be a sort of J.R.R Tolkien of memory, but not helpful to a beginning language student.

Slightly overwrought process that essentially allows you to memorise dictionaries. He misses a number of explanatory points along the way, unfortunately. Also, he neglects to mention just WHY we're putting all our words in memory palaces in the first place.
Still, this isn't a bad introduction to some of the baseline techniques involved.

I have read a few books about memorizing things. Each has had its virtues. This book is much better than the others because it provides more details, more practical examples, and a broader picture. This is the book and author to turn to for learning memorization skills. The author provides value for your money.

This is an expanded idea to Trudeau's "Mega Memory" which I tried in my early thirties. "Word Palaces" seems to work more easily so now I shall put it I to practice and see if I can get myself speaking and reading passable French.

Free Kindle ebook. Detailed and helpful.

Oh, my. If you're exceedingly analytical you might like this method of memorization. It's not for everyone, and definitely too convoluted for me.

Great book
I have been studying and implementing these techniques for a few weeks now. Hey, they work! This book is well worth the investment.
