Hi, i was trying to memorize the alphabet through the numbers of the position of each letter, like, for example, being able to instantly associate the letter M to the number 13.
But unfortunately i´ve been stuck with the rote learning methods on this matter, and i´d like to know if there was a effective mnemonic way of doing this task
This is my first post here, so if i´m doing anything wrong i apologize.
A simple trick I learned a while ago for doing this is to remember the word “EJOTY” - this is just the 5th, 10th, 15th, 20th & 25th letters. Once you know these, it’s trivial to find a target letter.
For your example of the letter M: I know M is between J and O, so just count from J: K, L, M means I take 10 + 3 = 13 as my answer.
In reverse, if you have to find the number associated with N: I know N comes directly before O, so N = 15 - 1 = 14.
I know it’s not exactly what you were asking, but this trick has worked for me whenever I needed it 
. Of course, a more rigorous mnemonic like a peg list may be better suited for you depending on what you need this for.
Actually that’s very clever, i was thinking on making checkpoints like that before but haven’t managed to devise such a estrategy.
Thanks for the tip!
I already posted a memorization technique about this topic.
I definitely sure if you follow all these steps you never forgot the alphabetic sequence.
Here is a link of the topic.
