I have just started the Memory optimizer course and it is great though i have an idea, mabey someone has a thought on the idea.

in the course you use the ABC list and make lists of words, because i speak Japanese more that i do English i was wondering if it would be better to use the Japanese alphabet and make lists that way in Japanses rather than the English ABC list

let me know

I think Japanese would work fine, if you are more comfortable with that. The abc list is used mostly as a pegging tool anyways, although I use it mostly as a creative tool. I don't know if you've gotten that far yet where they talk about that, but even for that Japanese would be ok. Just don't try to make any abc lists using the 2000+ Kanji!

But, i think is that the better way so we can remember all the 2000 character in kanji when we learn japanesse? or when we learn chinese, to remember about average 3000 word....

the purpose of the ABC list is to peg stuff to and use to make a bunch of lists with different categories. Like abc list for cars, for fruits, for cities, etc. you can use them remember speeches, and for creativty.

If you did that with Kanji, you'd have a hard time coming up with a list of say, musical instruments, that whose names in japanese started off with each of the 2000 daily use kanji.

If you want an easy way to learn Kanji, look for a book by James Heisig. He uses the same type of memory tricks and it makes learning the kanji pretty easy.

and boy oh boy does this book give your creative imagination a workout!
