Olá! I’m glad to see you here. I think this thread will be of your interest: > [@Major System em Português](https://forum.artofmemory.com/t/major-system-em-portugues/85612): > > No momento, estou criando uma lista PEG de três dígitos (000-999), então decidi aproveitar para eliminar ambiguidades que havia encontrado ao utilizar o Major System em português. A seguir está uma tabela com as relações entre fonemas e números: [Major System] Eu adicionei alguns fonemas, por serem muito comuns na língua portuguesa. Por exemplo, /ɲ/ (senha) e /ʎ/ (velha) não aparecem em inglês, mas estamos muito familiarizados com eles. Além disso, o fonema /h/ no Major System em inglês cost… The Major System I show in my videos is basically this one. It is just slightly modified from the standard one, but it’s perfect for Portuguese. If you modified it too much, you wouldn’t be capable of using premade lists that are available online. For instance, you may use mine: > [@My 1, 2, and 3-digit Major System with fictional characters](https://forum.artofmemory.com/t/my-1-2-and-3-digit-major-system-with-fictional-characters/87077): > > I just finished filling all the cells for people in my 1, 2, and 3-digit Major System and decided to share it here. I used only fictional characters because they are more memorable and distinguishable than real people and because I wanted a family friendly list. I took them from movies, games, cartoons, animes, mangas, comics, dolls, and (extremely rarely) indie art. Most cells have multiple names, which are separated by commas. Right to the names, there are parentheses containing the sources … > [@Hicoffeman](#): > > X has the sound of ch in some sentences in Portuguese but in others it can have the same sound as "X " in X-MAN Yes, exactly! You understood it well, and that isn’t a problem at all. You should always focus on the sound. Close your eyes and let your ears guide you. When trying to produce words, forget the appearance of the letters, and focus on pronouncing the sounds. > [@Hicoffeman](#): > > Does that make any sense? I’m in the right way? Tim is totally right on this one, as usual. For instance, I had a 2-digit list when I broke that record, and most of the names had more than 2 consonants. Now that I have a 3-digit list, I needed to throw away so many associations that I practiced for so long. If you are interested in the world of memory competitions, then I’d recommend you to discard words with more consonants. --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.artofmemory.com/t/custom-major-system/90330)._
