PaoPao is the best method to learn how to do that!

Based on the PAO system (Person-Action-Object), PaoPao uses 100 images with famous people doing something with an object, and assigns each image to a number from 00 to 99.

To facilitate remembering the person in each image:
- 0 becomes letter O, given that zero resembles the letter O
- 1-5 become letters A-E, respectively, according to their order in the alphabet
- 6 becomes letter S, given that six is phonetically close to S
- 7 becomes letter M (dont ask me why I chose this one)
- 8 becomes letter H, according to the order in the alphabet and given that eight is phonetically close to H
- 9 becomes letter N, given that nine is phonetically close to S

As examples, we have the following images:
- 11: Andre Agassi - Swinging - Racket
- 32: Charlie Brown - Opening - Box
- 63: Santa Claus - Delivering - Gifts

Once the 100 images have been memorized, it is time to test with sets of numbers.
When memorizing a set of numbers (e.g. 326311631132), chunk them in groups of six, like this: 326311 and 631132

Then chunk each 6-digit segment into twos like this: 32-63-11 and 63-11-32

The first segment becomes the person, the second the action, and the third the object from the respective picture.

Therefore, these 12 numbers can be remembered as easy as 2 pictures:

32-63-11: Charlie Brown - Delivering - Racket

63-11-32: Santa Claus - Swinging - Box
