Want to remember English words faster? Discover the exciting world of memory palaces – a creative, visual learning method perfect for beginners and students starting their English course at ES Dubai.
Imagine this: you’re walking through Dubai Mall. At the entrance, a giant “apple” is greeting shoppers. Inside, a “book” is dancing on a display stand. Near the fountain, a “teacher” is sipping tea.
Sounds like a dream? That’s the idea behind a memory palace—a fun, imaginative way to remember vocabulary by placing words in mental pictures and familiar places.
For beginners who want to learn to speak English, this method is helpful as well as enjoyable. Let’s explore how you can build your own memory palace and take your English learning to the next level.
A memory palace is a tool that uses places you already know—like your home, school, or a favourite street in Dubai—and fills them with vivid images to help you remember words. You’re not just memorising; you’re creating a journey in your mind where every room or corner holds a new word.
Our brains love images and locations. When you picture a “pillow” jumping on your bed, it sticks better than reading the word ‘pillow’ 10 times.
You’ll laugh at your silly pictures—and when learning is fun, it’s more effective.
This technique is perfect if you’re starting a course in Dubai or attending English schools in Dubai. You don’t need advanced skills to use it.
You can build palaces in real Dubai places—like your walk to the metro, your classroom at ES Dubai, or even your favourite café.
Let’s build your first palace together!
Choose a location you can picture clearly. Ideas:
This is your palace.
Imagine walking through this place step by step.
Example (Your Bedroom):
Make sure the order stays the same every time.
Start with 5 to 10 words you want to learn—maybe from your English courses or recent homework.
Let’s choose: apple, teacher, run, book, water
At each location, add one word as a picture in your mind:
The crazier the image, the better your memory!
Close your eyes. Walk from the door to the desk, stopping at each word-picture.
Practice this every day. Soon, the words will pop up naturally when you need them in your English course.
Memory palaces work even better when you link them to places you love. Try these Dubai-inspired ideas:
ES Dubai Classroom
Place “study,” “write,” and “listen” on your desk, board, and backpack.
Dubai Marina Walk
Use boats, cafes, and benches to place, food and travel vocabulary.
The Dubai Metro
Each station can hold words like “ticket,” “train,” “ride,” and “stop.”
This makes your learning real—you remember words while seeing the actual locations!
To make your memory palace strong:
You can also draw your palace or explain it to a friend.
Make Images Bright and Weird
A blue banana dancing? Perfect! Your brain will remember it.
Add Sound and Movement
Imagine hearing the teacher snore loudly on your bed—that helps too.
Use Emotions
If the book is crying or laughing, such quirky topic is easier to recall.
Share with Classmates
Memory palaces are even more fun when you swap stories. Great for conversation practice with your classmates.
Still new to English? Don’t worry. Memory palaces don’t require perfect grammar or spelling. Here’s what they can do for you:
Your brain is full of rooms, halls, and doors. Why not use them to store English words? With memory palaces, every place you know becomes a place to learn. And every walk becomes a study session. If you’re joining one of our courses of English, this is your chance to have fun while mastering vocabulary.
