Guest guest Posted August 26, 2004 Report Share Posted August 26, 2004 You don't have to memorize them. If you say them often, especially the 100 names, they accidentally slide into your long term memory. Then, even if you are not conscious of having memorized them, if someone starts, you find you can say the whole sest.
