the secret to japanese BLD-ers?

I think in Japanese numbers also have syllables associated with them, so you can memorize a sequence of numbers phonetically. This is handy if you use a numbering scheme for BLD.

yes, however, some numbers such as ろく (6) have two syllables so your memorization could have like 15+ syllables... that sounds a bit hard.

EDIT: you could just call it ろ(ro). hmmm....

Japanese numbers have multiple different readings, and less common readings (and shortened readings) are often used for number mnemonics. You can see examples here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goroawase#Goroawase

A well known example is 4649 - Yoroshiku.

wow, i may actually adopt numbers.
 
I still like the idea of using hiragana for the edges. I don't think I'll use it though since I'm too used to the letters I use. anyway, this is what I came up with:

U-layer edges will have "K" and "S" sounds.

A/B -> か/き (ka/ki)
C/D -> く/ け (ku/ke)
E/F -> さ/ し (sa/shi)
G/H ->す/せ (su/se)

E-layer edges will have "T" and "N" sounds

I/J -> た/ち (ta/chi)
K/L ->つ/て (tsu/te)
M/N -> な/ に (na/ni)
O/P -> ぬ/ね (nu/ne)

D-layer edges will have "H" and "M" sounds

Q/R -> は/ひ (ha/hi)
S/T -> ふ/へ (fu/he)
U/V -> ま/ み (ma/mi)
W/X -> む/ め (mu/me)


It works out pretty nicely, the pattern is simple enough since its in order of hiragana, just skipping あいうえお and any sounds that end in 'o'. I didn't start with あいうえお since it's de easier to memorize sounds where you wouldn't have 2 vowels in a row especially if they are the same vowel (なすかさ would be easier to remember than さあひう). Also, I didn't use any "o" sounds, since 4 vowels are easier to work with than 5(just あいうえ vowel sounds are enough)

Only these sounds (bolded) would be used:

あ い う え お
か き く け こ
が ぎ ぐ げ ご
さ し す せ そ
ざ じ ず ぜ ぞ
た ち つ て と
だ ぢ づ で ど
な に ぬ ね の
は ひ ふ へ ほ
ば び ぶ べ ぼ
ぱ ぴ ぷ ぺ ぽ
ま み む め も
や ゆ よ
ら り る れ ろ
わ ゐ ゑ を
ん

that sounds pretty good and would probably be easiest to transition to. However, I really wish that I was using numbers because it turns out there are many number mneumonics in japan.

true true, that would actrually be really good for corners. Wow it may be worth learning how to "conjugate" numbers so you can learn the many ways of saying/sounding them :rolleyes:

GRRRRR! I just got consistent at corners BLD with about a 1:00 average and now I'm tempted to learn 3-cycles!

Welcome to the club. It seems like every time I get consistent at anything BLD, that's when I decide I just have to change to some different system. I'm finally getting decent percentages at 3x3x3 BLD again, and all of a sudden I've decided I just have to learn BH corners. Sigh.

I shall attempt to learn this.
When I do multi I use english works and spanish words ( it helps my spanish by applying the words in the story)

Even though I wouldnt know if im saying the words right or what they mean, but this will be fun to do
