Many memory aids depend upon acronyms - the method of linking the initial letters of a list of words into a new word. For example, to remember the names of the Great Lakes - Huron, Ontario, Michigan, Erie, Superior - use the word HOMES. Acronyms are among the techniques taught in MindUser's course, Memory Skills Online, where you will discover how to create them whenever you wish.
