Thanks so much for this comment, Kim. Dutch is such a beautiful language and as a Canadian, I know what you're talking about. It's a great place to be for many interesting language experiences (I'm living in Australia now, but miss that about "home").

Derren Brown is a great Memory Palace practitioner. I suggest reading his book, Tricks of the Mind. He talks about memory techniques in greater detail, including using them for to-do lists.

There is also at least one video where he is speaking German too ... I couldn't find it for you, but it was interesting and he talks about using memory techniques for his law degree in different places. :)
