Problem
How do I remember the countries and capitals of places I have not yet visited?
Answer
For many countries and capitals in all parts of the world you can make up sayings. For example:
IRAN - TEHRAN is the capital
such as I ran to Tehran in Iran.
IRAQ - BAGHDAD is the capital
My Dad's in Baghad; he is irate in Baghdad in Iraq. Using the letters IR.
Depending on whether you say ark or ack, you could make up a sentence rhyming with park or dark. I shall to a park in Iraq. Or my Dad's in a park in Iraq.
Or I shall pack for Iraq; my Dad's going to pack for Iraq.
