The principle is to leverage on self-relevance effect, i.e. memories considered self-relevant are better recalled than other, similar information, to create mnemonic mechanisms and building up to a framework for the recall.

Mnemonic LUT (Look-Up-Tables)

All language acquisition can use mnemonic `silly constructs`. After the story is set in, we can gradually wean ourselves off the mnemonic pins and pegs. We introduce the creation of pangrams as a means to compact the learning. It is a similar light of a mental-LUTs (Look-Up-Tables) where we introduce on the language acquisition of Morse codes.

Exercise 1: Create compact schemas such as pangrams.
Example: There are 24 basic letters, 14 consonants (ㄱ ㄴ ㄷ ㄹ ㅁ ㅂ ㅅ ㅇ ㅈ ㅊ ㅋ ㅌ ㅍ ㅎ) and 10 vowels (ㅏ ㅑ ㅓ ㅕ ㅗ ㅛ ㅜ ㅠ ㅡ ㅣ) in Korean. Here are the Korean character's pronunciation corresponds to an English word that starts with the same sound. Here are some examples:Consonants (14):
ㄱ (g): "g"ame
ㄴ (n): "n"ew
ㄷ (d): "d"og
ㄹ (r/l): "l"ove
ㅁ (m): "m"oon
ㅂ (b): "b"oy
ㅅ (s): "s"un
ㅇ (ng, silent at the beginning of a word): "ng"le (when used as a placeholder)
ㅈ (j): "j"ump
ㅊ (ch): "ch"air
ㅋ (k): "k"ey
ㅌ (t): "t"op
ㅍ…
