Ordering The World Map
We begin by creating a artifial order 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
Major System, 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 connect country with capital and find it on the map. We are currently in South America. Dominica got the number thirty on our list.

The Shape of the Country
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. Replace them with your own ideas.

The Major System Number
To order our countries and list them later one by one we will use the classic Major System to translate numbers into images. Please replace our image below with your own if you like. You can also leave out this entire step if you are not interested in listing all countries from memory.
The image for number 30 could be MOUSE.

The Name of the Country
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 phonetically similar images which will help us to remember them much easier.
Dominica
Sounds like domino![](https://steemitimages.com/640x0/https://s6.postimg.org/4lwp38x5t/Devider-_Empty.png)

The Name of the Capital
We are doing the same for the capital as we did with the country: We translate the name into a phonetically similar image.
Roseau
Sounds like rose![](https://steemitimages.com/640x0/https://s6.postimg.org/4lwp38x5t/Devider-_Empty.png)

Creating a Memory Story
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.
A __bat__ is marrying a __mouse__ and hands over a __rose__ as a token of love. Then they kick off a __domino__ construction that spells _love_.

Hey abu, I am the one who writes these articles. You should be careful what you are asking for. The majority on Steemit reacts very badly if you ask them to follow you. You might even get flagged for that. The only true way to find followers is by writing good and lenghty comments and by interacting with others. Personally, I will never follow anybody just because they follow me. I want to keep my home feed clean and not cluttered with thousands of posts I am not interested in. I hope you understand.
Thanks for your good posts, I followed you! +vote
