<p>Mnemonics are memory devices we use to make facts or processes stick in our long term mental storage.  They can be quite useful, and yes, sometimes fun. (One of my favorites is one I created myself: The formal Korean greeting is &#8220;ahnyong hashumnika.&#8221; I was able to memorize the expression with the silly English phrase &#8220;onions on your sneakers.&#8221; Silly, but effective.) I found a great site full of mnemonic devices for many areas of knowledge. Check out the site <a href="http://www.eudesign.com/mnems/_mnframe.htm">here</a>. I think you&#8217;ll find it useful.</p>
