AEE 277: 3 Strategies to Remember Someone's Name in English with Alan Headbloom

How can you remember other people’s names? Today, learn three tactics to remember names in English, and why it’s important to do so! A name is a person’s most basic possession and part of their identity. It’s the sweetest sound to their ears. For this reason, Alan Headbloom believes it’s important to get a person’s name right, and to show an interest in it. But it’s not always easy to do that, especially with names you are unfamiliar with. Here are Alan’s tips for remembering new names: If a name is unfamiliar, ask them to repeat it. This helps you learn their name and also shows a respectful commitment to learning it. Simply say, “Your name is a little difficult for me, but I’d really like to get it right. Could you say it again?” Ask for their business card. This works best in a business context, though students may also have business cards. Reading the name might make it easier to remember. Make up a pneumonic, or memory aid. Think of what the unfamiliar name sounds like in your native language and use that to help you remember. This is a way to bridge your language and English. Alan suggests you also learn common names in the English-speaking world, and that you try asking others if their names have any special meanings or significances. How do you deal with learning new names? Share your experiences in the comments section below! Alan Headbloom is an intercultural trainer, a professional English teacher and a talk show host.
