Why study capitals?
The world is becoming more open, borders are being erased and distances are being shortened. Therefore, knowledge of countries and the names of their capitals goes from being a brilliant erudition to a vital necessity. Today, not understanding this issue means becoming a modern Mitrofanushka, who argued that geography is not needed, because there are cab drivers.
If you know the states and main cities, you will be able to:
- easily solve crossword puzzles;
- surprise the company with your knowledge by offering a game or competition;
- easy to navigate the world of news;
- get excellent grades in geography;

- colored pencils and pen.
Subscribe to contour map the name of the state and its center, and then carefully color over this territory with a colored pencil. Not only the names will remain in your memory, but even the outline of the border by association with the selected color. You can still finish drawing national flag, it will also be recorded in your memory.
Do not try to quickly get around the whole globe. Psychologists say that a person cannot remember more than nine positions at a time. Therefore, first select nine countries of the world on different continents, the next day add one neighbor to each independent territory and thus move forward. This method is also good because you will remember relative position states and forever understand that Austria lies between Germany and Italy, and Kenya is north of Tanzania.

This is a fun game to play with a group. The rules can be complicated: the one who answered incorrectly must tell something interesting about this state. If his knowledge is not enough, another player can replace his partner, earning additional points. A funny or interesting fact about the state will be remembered by you along with the geographical names.
There is another version of this game that will help you easily learn all the capitals. Prepare two sets of cards. On some, write the names of countries, on others, their main cities. Divide the prepared game cards into two groups. Taking out a card from the first group, look for a pair for it in the second.
In a similar way, you can play with a friend or a group of up to 5 people. In this case, the presenter selects a card from one box, then from another, and the players find pairs orally. Award points for each correct answer. The one who gives the most correct answers will win.
Mnemonics and associations
Associative thinking is one of the main advantages of a person. How to learn, for example, republics and their capitals quickly and easily? Several methods can be suggested:
- break the list into several parts and for each part, compose a song or choose the motive of a famous hit;
- for each pair, come up with or find a poem, a little rhyme, or a saying;
- apply the mnemonic method.
You can find nursery rhymes to help you learn the main European cities. For example, this one: “Ships of tall Norwegians are sailing to the city of Oslo.” If you can write poetry, try to come up with similar short couplets yourself. After such an exercise, you will never forget the capitals of the world.
A good trick is to choose words that rhyme and sound similar. Take Gabon and Liberville. Remember: Gabon - trombone Liberville - vaudeville. Can't rhyme? Then find a similar-sounding phrase: the country of Mali, the city of Bamako - a small shoe.
Mnemonics, as a way to quickly and permanently remember something, has been known since ancient times. It was also used by ancient Greek speakers so as not to forget a prepared speech. This method is based on phonetic associations.
Come up with a picture that is associated with a specific title. For example, you want to remember that the center of Bosnia and Herzegovina is Sarajevo. The word "Bosnia" is associated with the word "boss", "Herzegovina" - "duke", and "Sarajevo" - "barn". Now imagine a dilapidated barn in which a fat boss in an expensive suit and an arrogant aristocrat live. How brighter picture you create in your imagination, the more reliable the association will be.
If you know how to draw, you will learn all the countries and all the capitals even faster. Draw pictures - illustrations of your associations. Just make them colorful and bright - it’s better absorbed.
Magic table
It has long been noted that information in table form is easier to remember. Make a table with the following columns:
- country;
- capital;
- interesting fact.
On the Internet and encyclopedia you can easily find an interesting story or interesting event associated with this country. For example, the legend about the founding of the city or the history of its name. Enter in the column " Interesting fact» summary this information.
Here's a simple example. Asuncion is the capital of Paraguay, it has a very long name in Spanish: “the city of the Assumption of our Lady St. Mary the Virgin.” In everyday life this is extremely inconvenient. Therefore, from the seven words, only the ending remained over time - Asuncion, which means “dormition”. It is enough to write this word in a table so that the name of the metropolis is firmly entrenched in memory.
