COIMBATORE: “The human brain is attracted towards pictures. So turn everything you want to learn into a picture. It is just like an activity and skill which can be started any day,” says Aravind P, 36, who was recently awarded with a certificate from Guinness World Records for memorising the longest binary sequence of 270 digits.
“April 23 was just like any other day when I decided to call the London office of Guinness World Records to check the status of my submission of the videos, photos and statements and they gave me the good news that they approved my attempt,” he shared his happiness.
Aravind was working in the tourism industry in Italy for a decade. He was always interested in learning foreign languages. “Working in the tourism industry brought an opportunity to learn as many languages I could,” he added.
He knows Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, German and Japanese. “But I wanted to learn more than 1,000 words in a particular language. It wasn’t working out because I kept forgetting words.” He bought a lot of books to remember words, adopted quick tricks to learn the words easily and keep them in his memory for longer.
Then he shifted to learning different languages. The foreign language teacher wants to help students in the city to adopt the quick learning skills. “I am starting a memory club to support students to learn more things in lesser time for a lifetime.” He is also planning to tie up with corporation, government and tribal schools to teach the techniques free of cost. The three month support system course costs Rs 5,500. “The course again depends on the students’ ability to pick up things.”
