Kanji Mnemonics #2 - Heaven
Wednesday, January 23rd, 2008Back in November, Dr. Matt Wachsman contacted us about his mnemonic system for learning Kanji using captivating and enjoyable flash movies. Unlike any other system out there, Dr. Wachsman’s uses advanced mnemonics features that involve multiple parts of the brain simultaneously, reinforcing memory linkage while at the same time appealing to people with a variety of learning styles.
Mnemonics is the way of tying information together in a way the the brain likes to receive it. There are a large number of ways to do this. The most basic one is putting information into a story. Dr. Wachsman’s system uses short Flash movies that tell a story using visual associations, humor and rhymes. His system covers all the Kanji taught in the first six years of school in Japan (~1,000 Kanji). Each week we’ll be releasing a new flash movie introducing 6-12 new Kanjis.
Dr. Matt Wachsman is back this week with Heavenly theme!

I am trying to play the Kanji Mnemonics but clicking on the “next” box is not advancing the picture.
What am I doing wrong?
Please advise.
Thank you.

Kimberly-san, the next button is a bit tricky, you have to click on the left side of it.
Was this helpful?
