Learn how to find <b>Guatemala</b> on the map and remember its capital <b>Guatemala City</b>. On Steemit we are coming from all over the world. Let us join closer together by memorizing all countries & capitals in the world and learn how to find them on the map. @yourmemorycoach will teach you <b>memory techniques</b> and how to apply them country by country.

<h2>Ordering The World Map</h2>
<div class="text-justify">
We begin by creating a <b>artifial order</b> on the map to easily identify a path of how we are arranging the otherwise random countries into an ordered list. This will allow us to learn all countries in our own artifical order by connecting them to the classic <a href="https://thinkkniht.com/memory-tutorials/major-system/">
Major System</a>, the most popular memory technique for numbers. This series will assume that you have already learned this technique. But even without it you will be able to <i>connect country with capital</i> and <b>find it on the map</b>. Our first continent is <b>America</b>, starting in the north. We will then go south in wavy lines. This is why <b>Guatemala</b> got the number <b>five</b> on our list.

<h2>The Shape of the Country</h2>
<div class="text-justify">
The easiest way to be able to identify a country on the map is by associating the shape with something similar looking. These visuals don't work for everybody initially but usualy as soon as you can follow a certain description your brain will adjust and hence forth you will see it right away.
</div>

<b>Guatemala</b> looks like half of an <b>avocado</b> from the side with a <b>nacho</b> sticking out of it. Can you see it, too?

<h2>The Major System Number</h2>
<div class="text-justify">
To order our countries and list them later one by one we will use the classic <a href="https://thinkkniht.com/memory-tutorials/major-system/">Major System</a> to translate numbers into images. <i>(If you have learned the visual Major System from my other articles take that into consideration. The code uses the same letter-groups but differently assigned.)</i>

The image for number 5 could be <b>oil</b>.

<h2>The Name of the Country</h2>
<div class="text-justify">
Some countries are easier and more commonly known while others have difficult names and are rather unheard of. We will encode all of them into <i>phonetically similar images</i> which will help us to remember them much easier.

<h3>Guatemala</h3>

<i>
Sounds like <b>guacamole</b>

<h2>The Name of the Capital</h2>
<div class="text-justify">
We are doing the same for the capital as we did with the country: We translate the name into a phonetically similar image.
</div>
<hr>

<h3>Guatemala City</h3>
<i>Sounds like <b>guacamole + city</b></i>

<h2>Creating a Memory Story</h2>
<div class="text-justify">
The final step is to connect all four images for the shape, the number, the country-name and the capital-name. The beauty of this system is that you can connect these images in any order you like and it will be easy to remember any of the other elements by triggering one of the others. Try to visualize each story with your imagination and repeat the information a few times to make the memory stronger.

You are standing on top of a the <b>city</b>, creating the largest <b>Guacamole</b> in the world. You have piled up tons of avocado. Now you are pouring <b>oil</b> out of a giant bottle over the city and mix everything with an enormous <b>nacho</b>.

Very nice but before I continue I need to know.
Is this course reversible?
Like if I want to forget it all and become a vegetable.
Don't wanna be up at 2am thinking of Guacamole.
Joking aside it  does help one to remember if you have more than 1 association. 
F+R

@infinitelearning · 
Very interesting article! I am struggling at the moment with finding phonetically similar words I can visualize. Especially I have to learn terms which are sometimes very similar to each other, only differing in a few letters. Do you have any advice for this? :-)

@yourmemorycoach · 
It is normal for a beginner to struggle with this. Even advanced users sometimes have a black out. But eventually there is a solution for everything.

When the words are very similar you can try to use the same image for all of them but give it different attributes like fire and ice. Or you try to visualize the particluar difference between them.
