That's kind of awesome. How good with names would you say you are now?

Also, is that the whole technique? Seems like you'd have to say it for quite a while to get it in to long term memory - if you're doing it straight after it doesn't seem like it would qualify for spaced repetition. Do you do it again later?

Much much better than average. Some people are surprised I can recall their name months/years later after 1 interaction.

I think with Marjolein and the subsequent 10 - 20 I did. But it becomes "natural" after a while.
