Re: How many sounds in pinyin (for example, a ai an ang ao = 5)?
Oh I see, yep sorry I misunderstood.
Yes that's broadly it, except, chiefly: it's not "x" items per room, but "x" (actually 5)

Re: How many sounds in pinyin (for example, a ai an ang ao = 5)?
Hi leosmith,
Sadly it's not a full-on memory palace ... setting up something on that scale (ie 5,000) would I

Imron:
"Unfortunately it also means that realmayo now needs to find 83-84 movies with 10 memorable

- nope. Just four more people. One for each tone.

Re: How many sounds in pinyin (for example, a ai an ang ao = 5)?
haha. Yep Roddy: the "proper" explanation for that radical is not memorable. So we have to invent
our own. This system makes that easier (after half a day's work setting it up)!
But listen: I really...

EDIT: Imron, I was replying to your previous post, though I guess this holds for this one too)
Imron: exactly (up to a point)! the radical, I believe, is claw or hand. there's more than one

Hi, does anyone know how many sounds there are in pinyin?
