A
mnemonic aid is a tool to aid
memory. It can aid in learning lines for a
play, for example. For instance suppose you had to learn:
- 'To be or not to be,
- That is the question
- Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
- The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune
- Or take arms against a sea of troubles'
You could reduce this down to:
- '2 b / n 2 b
- L s l ?
- W t n n l m 2 s
- L s & a / o f
- / t m a a c / t'
This gives a phoenetic representation of the text which may be easier to learn.
