r/memorization

Hey Reddit! I’m a language tutor and really would like to start reading books on how memory and brain work, I believe it would help a lot. Any suggestions? I’ve never read anything like this before.

I know how to use the linking, association, substituting words, major systems and other memory/ mnemonics techniques but i think I'm a rookie on it still. Is there like a way to train these techniques?

how do I fix this? I need to get my focus back because I’m failing my exams and I still can’t focus

Definition:

Romanticism was a major literary, artistic and intellectual movement that emerged in Europe in the late 18th century and reached its peak during the first half of the 19th century. It arose partly as a reaction against the rationalism, order and classical conventions of the Enlightenment and Neoclassicism. Romantic writers placed particular emphasis on individuality, emotional intensity, imagination and the pursuit of personal and artistic freedom.

Main characteristics

• Subjectivity and individualism: Romantic authors focused on their inner world, personal experiences, emotions and psychological conflicts.
• Primacy of emotion over reason: Feelings, intuition and imagination were considered more important than rational thought and logical explanations.
• Freedom and rebellion: Romanticism rejected rigid literary conventions and social restrictions. Its protagonists are often rebellious, unconventional or alienated individuals.
• The sublime and nature: Nature is not simply a setting but a powerful reflection of the character's emotions. Wild, dramatic and mysterious landscapes are particularly common.
• Escapism: Writers frequently attempted to escape from contemporary reality through the Middle Ages, exotic locations, dreams, fantasy or the supernatural.
• The supernatural and mysterious: Ghosts, death, nightmares, legends and unexplained phenomena are recurrent elements.
• Melancholy and pessimism: Romantic literature often explores loneliness, despair, frustration and the impossibility of achieving one's ideals.
• Nationalism: Romantic writers showed a strong interest in national history, folklore, traditions and cultural identity.
• Idealism: Romantic characters often pursue absolute love, freedom, beauty or happiness, but these ideals frequently clash with reality.
• The Byronic hero: A typical Romantic protagonist is a mysterious, proud and rebellious individual who is emotionally tormented and separated from society.
