Mnemonic major system
The Mnemonic major system or phonetic number system is a mnemonic technique used to aid in memorizing numbers.
The system works by converting numbers into consonant sounds, then into words by adding vowels. The system works on the principle that images can be remembered more easily than numbers.
Each numeral is associated with one or more consonants. Vowels and the consonants w, h, and y are ignored. These can be used as "fillers" to make sensible words from the resulting consonant sequences.
The groups of similar sounds and the rules for applying the mappings are almost always fixed, but other hooks and mappings can be used as long as the person using the system can remember them and apply them consistently.
Short term visual memory of imagined scenes allows large numbers of digits to be memorized with ease, though usually only for a short time.
Unique system Number Mnemonics.
Whilst this is unwieldy at first, with practice it can become a very effective technique.[citation needed] Longer-term memory may require the formulation of more object-related mnemonics with greater logical connection, perhaps forming grammatical sentences that apply to the matter rather than just strings of images.
The system can be employed with phone numbers. One would typically make up multiple words, preferably a sentence, or an ordered sequence of images featuring the owner of the number.
The Major System can be combined with a peg system for remembering lists, and is sometimes used also as a method of generating the pegs. It can also be combined with other memory techniques such as rhyming, substitute words, or the method of loci. Repetition and concentration using the ordinary memory is still required.

This strangely doesn't fit the common major system. In the association quiz piece, it was assigning "sh" to 0 and "ch" to 7, I guess because the code was written "s is 0, ignore h". But that's not right. If they could fix this, it would be a great tool.

Deviates from the real Major System. The author uses other phonetic sounds to represent numbers. Cheese should have meant 60, but in their test it didn't. Same thing with Fish. Fish is 86, not 80. Yet I had to choose fish because there was no other choice in the quiz.

your other apps aren't in english :(
Adds are not disruptive! Some of the number, sounds were not what I had learned previously... All is good with this app.. Easy to change and you can enter multiple words if you want. Good for me to brush up on my mneumonics.
