For example, devote each day of the week to studying one of the seven continents: Africa, Antarctica, Asia, Australia, Europe, North America (including Central America) and South.

It can also be helpful to have a friend or family member quiz you, which can be more challenging. They don’t have to quiz you alphabetically. Instead, they could ask a question like, “Which countries border Laos?” or “What’s the southernmost country in South America?”

For example, associate countries in Europe with your colleagues’ cubicles at work, and imagine an absurd narrative that will help you remember (e. g. remembering Portugal and Spain by picturing a co-worker’s cubicle, which has shrunk in size and holds a child-sized desk and chair, located at the corner of another co-worker’s cubicle which is large enough to accommodate flamenco dancers.

For instance, a mnemonic device used to list the countries in Central America from north to south is: Baby Goats Eat Ham, Not Cold Peanuts. The phrase provides the first letter of each country (Belize, Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama).
