114: How To Memorize A Foreign Language – Dr. Anthony Metivier
Today’s guest on the Expat Money Show is Dr. Anthony Metivier, the founder of the Magnetic Memory Method, a formulaic, 21st Century approach to memorizing foreign language vocabulary, dreams, names, music, poetry and more — in ways that are easy, elegant, effective and fun.
He has taught thousands of students in multiple countries and worked as a memory coach and adviser to top ESL instructors and language school administrators around the world.
I was first introduced to him and his work by two accomplished polyglots and good friends of mine, Kris Broholm and Olly Richards who raved about his methods, once I started digging into his work, I could see why.

FINAL THOUGHTS
Anthony and I have become friends over the past year and I have used his method for memory enhancing since day 1. I can tell you his use of the Memory Palace is fascinating and I use it all the time for anchoring new vocabulary. It has helped immensely with my Spanish learning, making it easier and more effective.
