I too am very interested in mnemonics. I had been thinking about starting a thread about it. My difficulty is that I don’t have a good palace to start with. I left my first home when I was 10, and I’ve lived in over a dozen places since. There are probably two or three houses that I could use, but I think I need to practice the houses before I start placing memories in them. There are so many things I have trouble remembering. Names and numbers are the big ones that affect my work. ETA I see **MMM** has started a thread. I’ll check that out. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/what-are-you-teaching-yourself/726711)._
