﻿- Hey guys, my name is Ron White. I'm a two-time USA memory champion. In this video,
I'm gonna give you some tips on how to memorize spelling. I'm doing this in part for me.
I am been teaching memory seminars for 30 years. I am basically almost a 50-year-old man. So, the
words that you would think that I'm gonna teach you how to memorize, how to spell, are things
that maybe a seven or eight year old would be struggling with. The things that I struggle with,
I use Google to tell me how to spell something. I'll go to Google and I'll type it in. And then,
Google will say, "Did you mean?" And I'll be like, "Yes, that's what I meant, thank you."
I have a big time spelling. The word restaurant, I just now figured out how to spell it
and I could never spell it right. So, I figured out, I'll tell myself I'm Resting in Austin,
Austin, Texas, because it starts with AU and I'm Resting. And then, I Rant.
REST-A-U-RANT. And that's how I memorize restaurant. I finally got it! The age of 48
years old, I know how to spell restaurant. In this video, whether you're seven or eight years old or
48 years old, I'm gonna give you some ideas on how to memorize your spelling.
There are really two primary ways that I'm gonna suggest you memorize your spelling.
One is through acronyms. So, let's deal with that one first. Maybe you've heard of acronyms before.
Everybody's heard of "Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally." Or maybe you have to memorize the math
parenthesis, exponents, and the order of operations. That is called an acronym. Well,
guess what? We can also use acronyms for spelling. Let's take the word rhythm. Rhythm, is that word
difficult for you to spell? It's difficult for me to spell. You know how I learned how to spell it?
I created an acronym. Here's the acronym. Takes each letter and I create a story or an acronym.
Here's the story. Rhythm Helps Your Two Hips Move. Let's say it again. Rhythm Helps Your Two Hips
Move. Rhythm Helps Your Two Hips Move. If you say that, you would be able to write out R-H-Y-T-H-M,
rhythm! Rhythm Helps Your Two Hips Move. Let's take another one. Let's take another acronym. The
word because, some people have a trouble with that word. Here is an acronym. Remember this,
Big Elephants Can't Always Use Small Exits. Big Elephants Can't Always Use Small Exits.
That's the word because. Necessary, necessary, this is a difficult word, to spell, to learn!
Here is the acronym that you can remember for this one, Not Every Cat Eats Sardines,
Some Are Really Yummy. Say that again, Not Every Cat Eats Sardines, Some Are Really Yummy. That
is N-E-C-E-S-S-A-R-Y, Not Every Cat Eats Sardines, Some Are Really Yummy. If you wanna look in the
description of this video, I'm gonna have all these words listed out down there. How
about could, would, should? We can have one thing that's gonna help us remember this. Could, would,
should, remember the phrase, Oh, You Lucky Duck! Oh, You Lucky Duck! That will help you remember
O-U-L-D. O-U-L-D, Oh, You Lucky Duck! Could is a c, would is a w, should is sh. Remember, Oh,
You Lucky Duck! And you will always be able to remember O-U-L-D, could, would, should. I
have one last acronym for the word laugh. How do you spell the word laugh? Remember this,
Laugh And You Get Happy. L-A-U-G-H, Laugh And You Get Happy. Acronyms are really cool
ways to memorize words, but they don't always work. You can't always create a story. So,
here are some other tricks to memorize spelling words. Let's take the word island. Remember this,
an island is land surrounded by water. An island is land surrounded by water.
Separate, separate, this one is always confusing for me until I always remembered. There was a rat
in the middle of separate. Separate, there is a rat in the middle of separate.
February, February, I can never spell February unless I look at a calendar.
So, I'll tell myself this, we always go brrr, BR, in the middle of February. Because if I can
remember there's a BR in the middle of February, I can always figure out the rest of it. But that
BR is always the trick. We always go brrr in the middle of February. The word together, TO-GET-HER,
that's the word together. Remember this, TO-GET-HER, to be together.
TO-GET-HER, to be together. TO-GET-HER, to be together. And one final one. Word misspell, I
can never remember the word misspell. I always put one s instead of two. Or remember this, There's a
woman. Her name is Miss Pell and Miss Pell never misspells. Miss Pell, misspell. The word believe,
here's one for this one. Never believe a lie. L-I-E is in the middle of the word believe. A lie
is in the middle of believe. When you see the word believe, remember this, never believe a lie. Now,
here's one. How do you remember the difference between desert and dessert?
Well, dessert has two s's, desert has one. Remember this, the sweet dessert has two
sugars. That will help you remember dessert has two s's. The sweet dessert has two sugars. That's
how you remember the difference between desert and dessert. Because two sugars, there's two
s's in dessert. Guys, here's the thing. Don't beat yourself up over spelling. The best way that
you can do is create acronyms or create funny little stories. You kinda create little tricks
like this for yourself, and that's the best way to memorize or learn spelling words. If you can
create an acronym, create an acronym. If you can't, create a story. Down in the link below,
I will list out all of the words that I just gave you in this video. But I'll also give you a link
to my memory course. I have a memory course called black belt memory. It is the awesome,
most awesome, incredible memory course out there and I am biased, but I believe that. Click the
