The Major System

The Major System is a useful study technique for learning numbers, dates, and statistics. Please know the following by next Tuesday:

0 = z, s, soft c (as in cell)
1 = d, t, th
2 = n
3 = m
4 = r
5 = L
6 = j, g, sh, soft ch (as in cheese), zh
7 = k, q, qu, -ng (as in ring), hard ch (as in loch)
8 = f, v
9 = p, b

We will use this technique to generate mnemonics for class.
