ITT: tricks you developped to help you understand/memorize harder stuff
I remember when I was in Calculus 1, I started associating noises to my differentiation formulas.
Exemple: d/dx[x^r]=rx^r-1 was the simplest noise (just my mouth swallowing some air slowly and faster toward the end). d/dx[sinx]=cosx was a sort of metallic sound made with my teeth and my tongue (all trigo. functions were metallic sounds btw).
I started using them at first with numerators/denominators in exponents (Idk I was dumb) and then I used them for the calculus.
People kind of laughed during exams but I knew their grades werent as good as mine and the only reason they werent doing it was because they were shy. Im in my Math master's now and I still use these tricks desu they are really helpful.

I find that the more odd or funny a mnemonic is, the more effective it is. For example, when my friend and I were studying for the SATs way back in high school, he came up with this mnemonic for the word 'aspersion.'
"If someone started spreading rumors that I was an ass-person, I would be very mad." His mnemonic for remembering that 'singe' is French for monkey was "that goddamned monkey singed my eyebrows off."
What I'm trying to say is don't be afraid to get creative, even silly.

Can I speak for everyone that ever learned Latin that we have come up with the most embarrassing mnemonics no-one should know about?
>>

It's embarassing enough that you learned Latin.

Could you explain a bit more how you managed to associate those mouth movements/noises with the things you are talking about? I'm having a hard time imagining how that would be possible. Like licking your teeth while you read something over and over to memorize it?

Did your classmates have to deal with you making cocksucking noises during the exams?

Seems like a waste of time that could otherwise be used for reading the manual.
Also OCD

The problem with mnemonics is that they solidify and then you can't get rid of them.
I finished my PhD and I still have socahtoah running in my head whenever I start a trig calculation.

Also i just taught you a trick: the textbook is a manual

Aren't you taught differentiation in high schools in USA, are you?

a あ is checking dubs (thanks /a/)
fu ふ is like a swan/bird (fugl)/fueathers
wa わ is pointing at vagoo (or pointing at watashi if you prefer that)
to と is a toe
it is entry tier to use it for just the syllable ones sure but it works for learning them really quickly
>>8382566
I still go through that one too
except I have to pause to validate because opposite starts with h in my language (as well as hypotenuse), so yeah
