If you could sum up How to Learn and Memorize Russian Vocabulary in three words, what would they be?

There is a lot of valuable information here so you might need to pause and take some notes

Who was your favorite character and why?

You might need to ask yourself why you have chosen this book? What you feel you are deficient in and why you are struggling with learning a new language? Our brains have a natural sponge quality if we are relaxed and you maybe should just work with that first before applying these artificial techniques. When you hit barriers and limits then you may need to employ some of the techniques Anthony outlines, otherwise you might be sabotaging your own innate ability and undermining your self-confidence.

Which character – as performed by Elliott Bales – was your favorite?

Ultimately this is all about you and your mind and learning how to play with it in creative ways in order to boost your learning ability.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

From Russia with love and fond memories.

Any additional comments?

Anthony is a very intelligent and stimulating guide and if you want to stay interested in memory work he is worth being connected with and he is constantly creating new material with lots of helpful advice. One thing though that he probably has covered somewhere in one of his books that I have not come across yet, is the idea that you might be struggling and looking for some memory techniques because you are run down and your brain just feels old and tired out. So as well as a memory palace you might need things like Super Lecithin and Vitamin B12 supplements so that you feel up to doing that memory work in the first place. So it is worth researching that topic. But Anthony is certainly inspirational and can teach you a lot. Good luck and enjoy learning valuable things and learning to work with your mind's amazing abilities.
