Of a similar age and can also remember names pretty well - but only because I have developed tricks to do so.
I have been learning Spanish for the past year and find it incredibly difficult to retain things I would have found easier when I was young.
With numbers and general vocabulary I find the same tricks I use for names works OK but for rules of grammar (which are absolutely essential for speaking Spanish fluently) these tricks are of no use at all.
- arethuza 9y agoOne bizarre thing that I can't remember is names of plants and trees - a bit unfortunate as we've just purchased a house with a decent sized garden and I've taken up gardening. But I've never been able to remember names of plant and trees even though I generally have a ridiculously good memory for "useless trivia" as my wife puts it. :-)
