Hello!

It is very difficult to memorize everyone's name, but I have tried to solve that problem by taking pictures and writing down the names of the people in them.

It also helps to pin people to a location. I remember people better when they are from one of my clubs or classes. For example, I can remember the people in my Kendo club that I have set aside to talk to, but I cannot remember random people from another class, club or in the hall. Those situations are where pictures come in handy because if it  is two or three people, I can remember where I took the picture and what the people look like.

For example,
I do not have any classes or club activities with these two guys, but because of this picture, I can see them in a familiar area  and remember that the one to the left is ゆすけ (Yusuke) and the one to the right is ゆう (Yuu)。

Another example,
These two girls are in my Kendo club and the one to the left is なお (Nao) and the one to the right is
ゆかこ (Yukako).

じゃね!(See ya!)
