How to Memorize Anything, the Real Deal Part 2

Last time we discussed the Number Shape system where we used the shape of the numerals as hooks on which to hang a list of items you need to remember. Here is another system that is just as effective, but uses the sound of the numerals this time.

The reason for learning more than one memory system is functionality: Every person has different levels of comfort with learning each system. If you are more visually oriented, the Number-Shape system will be easier to learn; on the other hand, if you are more of the auditory (listening) type, the way the numerals sound will be more natural to work with. This is not to say you cannot use both systems-- of course you can! In fact you can use one system for one list, and the other for some other set of items. They will still work.

Now take a look at (but do not try to memorize) the following peg-list:

1 - Bun
2 - Shoe
3 - Tree
4 - Door
5 - Hive
6 - Sticks
7 - Heaven
8 - Gate
9 - Vine
10 - Hen

If you have read my first Memorize Anything posting, you probably guessed there was a logic behind this seemingly odd collection of items. This time, it is a bit easier to explain: Each word simply rhymes with its number! "Bun" rhymes with "One", "Shoe" rhymes with "Two", "Tree" rhymes with "Three", and so forth. Go through the list once or twice without looking just to check you know these peg-words.

This time we'll deal with a list that is familiar, yet few people know entirely: The Seven Dwarfs. Can you name them off the top of your head? This will give you an easy way to remember them.
Make sure to make very clear and super-detailed images and actions, letting the pictures and sounds pop out at you. This ensures the items getting locked into your memory.

Warning: Do not skim through the follwing list! Read it carefully and follow the mental exercises in detail, to get used to this style of memorizing. I promise it will be painless, if not entertaining.
