메이저 시스템은 영어 음성학에 기반합니다. 배우는 단어는 이 사이트를 어떤 언어로 사용하든 항상 영어입니다. 한국어, 스웨덴어, 중국어, 러시아어 또는 다른 어떤 언어로 학습하든 영어 단어 목록을 사용합니다. 유창할 필요는 없습니다 — 대략 100개의 간단하고 생생한 영어 단어만 알면 됩니다. 대부분 한 번의 세션으로 배울 수 있습니다.
The Major System converts numbers into words by mapping each digit 0–9 to one or more consonant sounds. Vowels cost nothing — use them freely to complete real words. Each word becomes a vivid image. Images chain into scenes. Scenes are impossible to forget.
Tap a digit to see its memory hook
Each digit covers a family of sounds. The word uses whichever letter from the family sounds most natural. Both are equally correct.
The system is over 300 years old and refined by memory champions ever since. Modern competitive memorisers use it to encode thousands of digits of pi, entire decks of cards, and long sequences of random numbers. The principle never changes: a vivid, concrete image is far easier to recall than an abstract digit.
A mitt slides down a road, lands on a giant lip, leaves a notch in it, then gets squeezed like a lime.
Five images, one absurd scene, one ten-digit block of pi permanently encoded. That is the system.
The Major System is a mnemonic technique dating to the 17th century. The 100-word list, diagrams, and this guide are by Christoffer De Geer. The Major Pincode System (pairing this word list with numpad muscle memory) was devised by Christoffer in 2024.
