I agree. A simple strategy for the "European capitals" would be to learn the size of them in conjunction. I guess the key is to search for something useful that you can relate to easier? For Example: London, 8.3 Mil; Berlin 4.3 Mil and so on...

European capitals are the centers of political decision for a country, but one could find the capitals for cheese, mathematics, water colors, etc.
