How I learned to memorize anything. 

Yes, this is a reupload. I got a copyright strike from for the Hollow Knight soundtrack and it makes the video so bad that I would rather just reupload to have something I'm proud of on the channel haha. Here is the original video if you want read the old comments: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Hw6sHlWt6d4.html

Not gonna lie I hope he starts uploading again I really enjoyed his videos.

When he isnt streaming i realize that i really miss this guy

I started taking notes in college, and I would title every lecture's notes based on how I felt that day, like "FIN 466: The Pain Of Getting Up Edition." I think it helped me get into the right mindset to understand the material better because I was making a connection between my mood and recent experiences and the topics in lecture.

Ohhh, so that’s why I felt like I watched this before, it’s a re-upload

Recommended when video came out "1 minute ago"

I feel so sorry for Pingu, the quality of this video is on par with his other content; he gets 500k views, and then yt bends him over and fists him algorithmic style 😭😭😭

I can attest to the idea of no one being inherently bad at math (this obviously has some exceptions for serious mental disabilities. Even then people are always surprised by what they can do.) I used to know so little math, I never got past third grade, and I remember crying because I couldn't do three digit addition when I was young. My grammar and spelling were pretty bad, and I didn't know much geography either. I remember one of the first things I taught myself was my months. I had never been taught my months because I was homeschooled, and it seems my parents forgot to teach me a lot of subjects. I actually owe Roblox a lot for my improvement in spelling and grammar. The site has actually been around since 2006, and it used to be a lot more creative, and a lot less of a mobile trash dump. I also learned programming on Roblox. At the time I didn't really understand the difference between scripting, and programming, so I wasn't really sure how applicable what I was learning was, but I liked it a lot. After many years I actually became good enough at it where I needed to start learning some math to do what I wanted, which is what made me decide to go to high school. I did pretty well because of my interest in math from programming, and I'm now studying computer science at college. I don't think I ever would have learned math if I didn't have a use for it, and over time I actually grew to like the subject. I think that's the hard part to every subject, finding what you like about them. Also, Plague Inc was a huge help with my geography. Still don't know many capital cities though.

This video (and this channel) is fucking beautiful. It's inspired me to fix my life. For years now, I've been sailing off talent, playing video games for hours and hours instead of revising, and constantly scrambling for motivation to work, to learn, and enjoy life itself. Thank you man. This video as well as your viewer interviews have really helped me.

I got straight A's, but also didn't learn "how to learn" in school, and actually kind of hated learning afterwards. 7 years later, I tried to finally pick up learning Japanese again... I had some motivations that kept me going long enough to discover that I loved learning, and that mnemonics were the key for me. Now I try to make them up for anything that I want to remember. Complete game changer. When I was memorizing kanji meanings by keywords, I made up mnemonics for about 20 at a time. It was a bit time consuming to make up the mnemonics but I was able to recall all the meanings with only a few flashcards reps each to reinforce them. I was even able to write them from memory when prompted (given that I had learned the basics of writing kanji previously). Did this for over 1000 kanji over a few months and now reading through native material is so much more doable. Yeah, mnemonics are pretty cool. I also learned the basics of Python even though in the past I thought I was destined to be bad at programming. I actually enjoy it!

when the recommendations are faster than post notifications

Practice, patience and a penguin is all it takes.

Dude you really inspire me to be the best I can, seeing the hardwork and effort you put into things you want to get good at and seeing the human side where you struggle, helps me believe that I can achieve what I want to achieve too, it makes me want to pick up a pencil and work on improving my art skills :)

This is the second video of yours that I've watched (the first being the Dactyl Manuform keyboard video). This is...so relaxing to listen to. It's like sitting and talking with a friend at 11 at night.

Dude, I absolutely loved the vid. I had never thought of thinking more in-depth about the strategy of learning. Straight up, more people should see this.

I don't know why you dropped off of the face of social media, but whatever you're doing, take care of yourself, man.

I wish you would do even more videos, cause your vids are rly high qualty and i rly enjoy watching them. :)

your videos are very motivational, keep up the good job man!

Much love man. Hopefully get some time to tune into the stream again soon. I'll always support your content.

To boost your channel, here's a comment for Master algorithm.

I know i’m pretty late but i really appreciate this video. i was homeschooled all my life and i did not get a lot of education at all. it’s refreshing to see someone with the same struggle. lol

":(" -pijon the destroyer

This vid actually inspired me to get into a lot of improvement/memory stuff, so thanks for the new obsession(s)!

I'd love to have your mindset, this is just amazing

Man I wish you uploaded more often, I love your videos!

omg master, this is so powerful. thank you for the video. please make more i love you.

His outlook on life is so motivating and positive! People made fun of me for always getting the “most improved” award, saying it means I started out dumb. But I say that it’s a badge of accomplishment. Love you man

Just you talking about school in the first 2 min got me into ptsd mode bruh lol. What a life. I hope it all works out one day for everyone here including myfriends , family and myself

Good that I find out this video in my recommendation section, that brings me motivation.

everyone should rewatch the whole thing for the algorithm

Congrats on 200k!!! You deserve it

The nice thing about mnemonic devices is that there is no need for any logical or causal connection for them to work. Often trying to find one helps memorizing already, and if it is illogical or strange that can help as well, because memory works by separating the general or "boring" from the special. The brain doesn't need to memorize "normal" stuff, but special stuff.

Man I miss this guy

This will be a viral one I got it on my recommendation too. RU-vid recommendation is super good lately.

This video was oddly comforting, glad Yt recommended me to you.

Yo ping, you probably will never come across this message and I know this video is 3 months old, but I want you to know that u are very big inspiration, see I was stuck because I love math and I also love video games, and wanna learn coding but I felt like I could only choose one, but you talking about improving has really gave me hope that I can do school, maths, science, learn coding and video games just organised and a goal to improve in each one, coding and video games have been a thing I have been in between about, but from watching you improve in each one, I no longer have to choose, I can get better at video games and learn coding, thanks ping, I've known ur channel for a while now, almost 2 years, so thank you, you probably wont come across this message and ik it's super long, but I just wanted to say this, and when I have doubts, I come back to your vids, good luck and I hope to see u upload again soon!

very good video inspired me to learn more about learning, thank you for sharing :=)

this is one of my favorite videos

okay this Might sound like a backhanded compliment but i mean it only in a good way: knowing that you are uh. less than stellar at rote memorization has made me very happy and has given me a very big boost in confidence at least for now, because it kind of cements the thing i've been told all my life that like "oh, everyone's good at different things, don't worry about being good at everything" because i was watching your channel and thinking "damn this guy is good at everything :/" and then BAM. hit in the face by the fact that you thought baghdad was the capital of like. belarus or something. and that really helped me, because i'm shit at a lot of things, but maybe there are cool things that i will be able to get good at a little easier due to how my brain works, like how some of the things on your channel were probably a bit easier for you, unlike geography. (not trying to downplay your hard work here! you obviously put a lot of effort into everything you do). but then? you went and figured out how to get good at this shit? like wow, maybe we can't be naturally inclined to be good at everything, but there's a way for us to get better at anything we devote our time to, if we just figure out what works for us! and that gives me a lot of hope and confidence in myself. i'm gonna try to like. learn a new thing or something! at least do some testing to see if i can find how i learn best. thanks for doing all the stuff you do! hope this makes sense and isn't weird or anything

Hope you are enjoying your studies and life outside of social media Mr Pinguefy. But when you are able to come back, you should as your channel is amazing and I enjoy your videos to this day.

Thanks for this, i've been struggling to remember stuff in school lately cause there's just so much going on.

Glad there is the reupload, i wanted to remember how to have an actual good memory

hope you're doing well dude

Nice to see you again after 4 months away (Though I was gone for longer than 4). At this point, you may as well be a living god among us with all this knowledge because I have no sanity to do all of this

This is such a good channel

Noooo why did this reupload, this video was a masterpiece

This was quite cool to watch, though the idea of making stories to memorise things struck me. I am learning Japanese and the amount of chinese-originating characters that are used is a lot (+2200 common ones). I came across a method from an author called Heisig who calls it "imaginative memory" on how to memorise them. Many characters are made up of smaller parts, mostly other simpler smaller words within them. And to remember the character, you can make a story out of these words relating to the key one. To this point, I've memorised +1600, a bit sketchy here and there, but the majority is fine. That is something I definitely never thought I'd achieve.

Thank you for putting a smile on face

i love this man, i think i watched every single one of his vids and i think. a skill you should learn is geometry dash or a dance of fire and ice. basically rythm games that are fairly difficult

was confused by the reupload but idm rewatching lol

yo we missed you a lot dude where have u been? 😭

I feel like i just heard my future self speaking about how to fix my life. This man is my spirit animal

that last part where you convinced the guy to study math was kinda wholesome ngl hopw he did good at his math assignment

Yes sir. Reciting and writing what I’m hearing is effective for language learning for me. I have to work on the memory palace too still & more abstract mnemonics

I'm glad that youtube recommend me this video that quickly

very inspirational also the final run was epic

Please make more videos if you can 😭 , they are very interesting to watch.

Hey pinguefy, you are one of my favorite youtubers and I watch all your videos. When you upload it truly makes my day. Whenever I watch your videos and I see the games you play I instantly intrigued by the game and want to play it but a lot of the time I don't know the name of the game. So it's there any (preferably free) game recommendations or games you play? Thanks!

I personally remember best when I write something down. I remember a time when I had procrastinated all my homework and I had to memorize a speech that was due that day. I was in a rush to get to school and I only had the first sentence remembered so I wrote it down a couple times and there it was stuck in my head. I then went on to read it aloud about 20-40 times that afternoon.

Inspiring man, thanks

I find it really interesting that so many brains are drawn to learning the same things. Like, I go through phases where I challenge myself online with WPM and geography stuff, and recently bought a Rubik's Cube, since I've always wanted one but never had one, and have begun to learn that as well. Many nerdy folks also get into music and web/video design, which I also find interesting, because those are supposedly "arts", rather than "sciences", but I think there's something very cerebral about creating things that can be heard, seen, graphed, etc. Music is very mathematical, and you can tell stories with audio and video. I think there's not as much of a divide between the arts and sciences as we tend to think, the way we approach creation is just a bit different (more methodical types, and the more free-form arty types). I've got some health issues going on that have given me terrible brain fog, ruined my memory, given me aphasia issues, made it hard to type/write (adding letters, changing tenses, reversing parts of words, combining words, replacing words, skipping words), and just made me feel incredibly stupid, and feeling my intelligence doing a sudden freefall has made me start to practice more and more things, and become obsessive about weird shit, because it's disconcerting to be able to literally feel your brain struggling to process things when you've spent your life being incredibly intelligent. I feel like the only way I'll be able to hold onto my brain is to make it work overtime, teaching it constant new things, and striving to be more than it was before, even though it can't accomplish the common things it used to do with ease. It's weird, and I realize I'm probably just in denial about the state of things, but until I'm dead, I'm going to keep teaching myself more pointless shit... even if I never remember it. *lol*

Just discovered this channel, I really like it. :) His voice is cool too.

ill be waiting

I really hope he posts a new video, I love these vids

I memorized the entire periodic table of elements. I think my name can tell.

We all have skills. We just don't recognize them and take it for granted.

your voice is really relaxing for some reason

I love how the younger you have the same glasses but proportionally smaller haha AMAZING ―

bro how the HECK do u do such GREAT videos

I love this method of learning and im gonna try this with skating. the thing is tho, skating causes real pain, and it just scares me and ive quit for about a month now. I know u won't see this but it will give me a new mind set when it comes to learning new things.

This is the fine dining of quality content

Real OG's instantly recognized The Greatest airshots of all time by Solomon

I was so excited to see his new video but it's just a re-upload

This was a very nice video

Hey man, I just found your channel and I really like your content. Where have you gone?

So hyped for a new video but it’s a reupload. Pain

any chance of getting a penspinning video at some point? what path you took and stuff like that, would be super cool

I agree making stories for memorizing things always helps

I learnt the memory palace from a memory book I have... Loved the video.

ur uploads were so gooddddd pls come back

"and they said no good could come from bullying" -pinguefy lmao

My question is why is the chat so hard on you like most people don’t know nearly as much as you do even when you forgot some and mixed them up. I do find it inspiring though that you want to improve yourself in this way even with topics people wouldn’t even bother with. I’m gonna start doing the same I think. Also, I just found you with this video, right now so you have a new subscriber!

proof we can do anything we set our mind to with the right confidence

copyright strike, huh? don't worry man, i'll watch it again

Dang, the Rule of Rose music brought back so many memories

and when the world needed him most... he was gone

The fact that you are able to learn with people watching you is amazing to me.

Hinestly Pengu, youre giving me motivation i need to continue learning new stuff, recently ive been pretty strugling with pen spinning so if you could make a tutorial on how to get better thatd be amazing

Dude, where are you ? It’s been a year already, we miss you .

When I made my own alphabet code, I used this technique sorta. For each letter, I tried to make some visual hint, somehow the extra step helped my brain a bunch. Now I don’t remember the visual hints, but even 6mo after using the alphabet and not using it much to begin with, I could probably still write it

I am gonna try this out since I have nothing to do in the holidays

Miss watching your vids and streams

You should try to learn stenography and see if you can get 200 wpm, though because it's an actual profession that people need to go to school for to learn professionally I don't know if it's even possible to get 200 at home, or even in a timely manner, Plover apparently is good for it

i love your channel man i just found you

at first, I was like wait a minute did I see this entire video in one of my future predicting dreams and then I was like no that can't be because those dreams are always like 1 sec long and then I was the comment that this a reupload

just found this channel through the qwerty video and can't stop watching

My man, You're awesome

I love the hollow knight music at the end

same, i can memorize bits of information, but when the infos are a lot, i usually create a story or relate to things. atlhough it seems dumb or unrelated at all, i can remember it

been almost a year since youve uploaded, i hope youre doing well
