Hi, I find that most people who already know cw forget the part where you simply have to memorise the code. All the methods discussed so far come after this hurdle. I found that grouping can help i.e. eish, tmo, 12345, 67890, ndb, auv, kr, qy,px.. etc. Once the code can be recalled by association/grouping/acronyms or other techniques, simple mind games can be played during everyday life, such as :
1) running through the alphabet in code from start to finish 2) translating car registration nos whilst in traffic 3) translating text (papers, adverts etc) Having to put aside time especially for CW practice isn't necessary, simple mind practice during everyday life when you are stuck in the 'slow lane' is enough to get you started. When you feel you've hit a wall in terms of recall speed, THEN it's time to look at other methods.
