CONCLUSION
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.
