Can you name and place all 50 states on a US map?
I am not from the us. So
NO
@@KingO.K NOW YOU MUST WATCH THE VIDEO :D
YES. Probably since 3rd grade
@@_krishnaevill_6791 Yes, I'm editing that video right now.

Lmao I’m from England but my dad is like really geographical and we are doing a test tomorrow- if I can remember all 50 I get £10 so I’m gonna win 😭😂
so, who win by the way
been 5 months Evie, who won 🔫😠
You won?
Who won it’s been 5 months i need to know???
I think evie didn't win 😕
I like this concept. It's like memorizing music notes. It spells out words like ACE, FACE, BEAD, etc.
I would love to learn the notes that way! Kool idea
I live in Europe and previously knew approx. 30 percent of 50 states. After watching the video one time, I perfectly guessed all of them. Incredible.

Let’s just be happy Nevada does not start with a “F” instead of N
What the duck are you talking about?
Imagine Florida and Nevada switched places
“It spells FUCK because they’re above CANT. So remember it’s “Fornicate Under Consent of the King, so unless the king says so, you CANT do it.”
Florida, Utah, Colorado, Kansas.
Simple enough to remember.
that wouldve been a nucking disaster
I’m remembering it by saying can’t nuck my mom
You are genius! you can't imagine how you have helped me with remembering the states!

Wow I'm 30 and I have had adhd all my life. I consider myself to be fairly intelligent but could never remember where the states where located and would always forget one a few.. You just put me in awe
Have job interview that requires me to know all 50 states. I love that Chef Mimal ! lol
CAN U PLS DO GEOGRAPHY ALL 160 COUNTRIES!
btw for montana it looks like a person i just see it as Hanna montana
I watched this with my 7-yr old grandson. He liked it, and I thought it was awesome!
Great memory hints, but PLEASE include the each state, correct spelling of each state and it’s capital, as part of the recap. It would help leave those details as a lasting long term memory, then, I would rate it perfectly done.
This video is learning gold! Thank you for this. So excited for more in this series!
(I would love more countries especially the European ones!)
I was never taught geography in a way that I can retain all of it and watching this video and drawing it along with once I can now place all of the states without a second thought! It’s nice to finally learn something I wish I knew since I was a kid💜

I need to print this out, you took so much time. Thank you..xx love from Ibiza, Spain/ Cornwall england
Just went into my sophomore year of highschool, got a test on the 4th day that I’m studying for and it’s memorizing all 50 states first thing 😭😭😭😭
Literally the only video that’s helped me your a life saver
This is so useful! Back in the B.C. days I often went to pub quizzes in Germany, and there were quite frequently questions about which state is which. Thank you! Also I have the weirdest ways to remember Korean vocab. Here we call those ways donkey bridges (Eselsbrücken).
Thank you so much!! I clicked on this video only knowing where Florida and Georgia was and I left knowing all of the states and getting a 100 on my exam :)
I have 3 tests over the 50 states in the next few weeks and this video helped me understand it so much better! I thank you so much for this ❤
Wow, following this video I've memorized all 50 states and can label them on a blank map. All in 3 day's. Thank you Nelson. 👍🏼
Can you do a video on Africa and Asia please?
Thanks!! This was awesome!! My 6th grader has a 50 states quiz coming up and this has helped her be able to memorize where the states are and the names!! Thanks sooo much!! 🎉
What a wonderful way to learn the states, but more important, to learn their location. The grandchildren will love this. Thank you.
Thank you!! I've been trying so hard to memorize them. This video is very helpful.
I aleays wondered how the weather men/women on the news could call out the states on an unlabeled map.
These are useful mnemonics, thanks!
I’m studying for a job interview in logistics AND THIS HELPED ME SOOOO MUCH!!!!!!! I feel so much for confident to take the state abbreviation test now!!!! My little brain cheat sheet
Just a Brit who wants to learn the US states, thank you for this amazing technique/ video
That penguin is so cute! (we had to watch this for class lol)
I’m watching this because my memory sucks
@@v4mpirebat_ im watching this because im braindead and my school did a REALLY shitty job teaching it
@@sprite4848 I’m watching this cause I have a test in 2 days and I’m clearly not ready
@@dhl9772 im watching this because my dad wants me to watch it
This video helped me so much. I had a states and capitals test tomorrow. These videos really helped. I love your channel. It helps me to prepare for school. Thank you so much.
Love your video, I am not from the US didn't know any states. Wachted your video twice practiced for 15minutes, now I'll never forget!
Thank you so much for this video man. I was able to learn all fifty states in a day from watching this video multiple times and having a blank map to look at. This is awesome and super helpful!
Thanks for this video. I’ve read many books by other memory experts but find your writing style and UA-cam videos the easiest to follow.
I did not think that it was possible for me, as a Brit, to be able to memorise not just all fifty US States, but to be able to label them on a map! After watching Miss Alexander's video about five times, I probably had 80% memorised. With practice, I can now label a blank map with ease. This comes in very handy when watching UK game shows like 'Tenable' where they might ask, for £25,000 to list the first ten States that have some particular feature, eg start and end in a vowel or maybe have more than so many letters in the name or whatever. Great being able to pause the recording, rattle them off by mentally wandering across the USA!
I look forward to seeing you come up with a video like this to be able to remember Best Picture Oscar winners from 1970 to date, or possibly up to 1970.
Keep up the great work!
I'm also watching this to be better at TV quiz shows... must be a British thing
How did you think of all those things !?? You are insane, I subbed cuz you deserve it
Loved the method and the very friendly and cool presenting personality. Thanks, Nelson. I like you & your work!
This is an amazing video btw, I have a hard time memorizing things and am just watching this on repeat
Thank you, my younger sister is really stressed out about her test on this and I showed her this and I sent her the link (she's in 5th grade) You really helped her with this :)
Dose she go to holy comforter epicible school
I might know her
@@albillis I know it's been like a year but no she doesn't 💀💀 btw she failed the test 😭😭
Congrats on 100k subscribers
for okohoma , the image looks like an OK sign ( thumbs up) so can remember it like that too. Great video BTW!
Love it! Just preordered your book!
first time I took my state test I got a 43% then a 38% I watched this video it helped so much thank you. Now I'm at 54% and my classmates make fun of me for saying duck out loud. guess I'll be home schooled here in rhode isalnds. peace out losing wifi
This made me remember about like 20 states and before I knew none thank you so much!!!!
I'm 26, I'm not originally from US nor do I know the states of the US and I found this video super entertaining and easy to follow
Thank you so much !! I learned the 50 states very fast !! I can see your map with full tricks xD !! Just incredible! Thank you again
oh my gosh u just saved me- i have a states quiz tmr that i have not studied for up until today, THANK YOU SO MUCHAKLFASDJKL (i actually memorized it! :0)
Bro no cap. I had a Geo test for US states and I had 1 hour before the test! I saw this video 2 times studied it and I got 100% RIGHT! I had no knowledge of states before this so THANK YOU 😭
Thanks man I had a history test tmr on the 50 states this is very helpful and helped me figure out what is which but I remember Oklahoma as a pan using the same handle and uh Connecticut as like a backboard weird but thanks alot man I also subbed :D
Thank you for that lesson that really helped me I am terrible about the states!
And remember kids..
4 out of 5 great lakes prefer MICHIGAN !!!!!
Lol
Incredibly helpful, thank you so much!!
I learned them all in 1 day 😁 Thank you so much ☺️👌🏾
This is SO helpul! I learnt them all in barely an hour thanks to your method, incredible :D
Awesome contect, and so interesting!
I find it helps if you pause after each chunk and try and remember the ones covered in that section.
This was really helpful !🔥🔥
Wow great but you have to kinda be familiar with the states.
Congrats on 100K btw!
Yes, true. Thank you!
*OH MY GOSH I JUST REALIZED YOU HIT 100K!!!!!!!! CONGRATS!!!*
Fantastic! Is a follow up in the works for the state capitals? :)
This is super creative 🙂. Thank you Nelson 🍀💪.
Thanks Mr.Nelson for this trick of memorizing.
thank youuu you helped me so much. im a French student and we have to know these states, but I had little difficulty thank you its more easy now
These mnemonics are really good. But also, Id like to point that if you learn cultural and random things about each state, that really gives a lot of context, a lot of personality, and the mind starts to kind of know the states as a person, with a face, expressions, emotions.. and then it really becomes an entity of its own. Just like you think of the US for example: its flag, shape and position in the map are stuck with you because it's like a person, your remember that whole "face", that whole "figure" as a single entity, instead of a hundred separate small things.
So helpful!! Any tricks for remembering what states are in what time zone? I have an upcoming test on that!!
I think NUCK can be short for knuckles and that part looks like someone reaching out with a fist to give knuckles to someone. This is cool, thanks.
I have big tests tmr and if I get an A it will bring my grade up a lot so thank you so much can u make more content like this plz
I needed this memorized for a six figure job as a Logistics account executive... UA-cam is an unsung blessing 😂
I tried to remember these for months with a map. Two or three stuck. I watched this video last and night and can still name all US states and their placement in the morning.
Could you please do one on the Caribbean? Love the videos.
You saved my life! This video is very helpful! LOVE IT
Job well done! This is a wonderful resource for my students to learn their states.
I really must express my admiration for this “ key”! A great clue for visuals! I could never get it right! I was disappointed, kinda “ gave up”! Yeah, it used to be a challenge for me! Unbelievable! I do remember the map of the US well now! I really do! Seems to be easy! I watched the video and I feel confident about this now! Everything is “ plain as day” now! Thanks a million! KUDOS!
Better than all the rest!!! U have never been able to remember them all. Helped a lot! I dont know why Massachusetts is so hard for me to place.
Daughter loved this. This should be required viewing for 4th graders! :)😃
Update: She knew maybe 25% of the States on Saturday night when we found your video, by Monday night she was at 100%. We combined this with the US Online Quiz at world-geography-games. She aced her test (50/50) on Tuesday, and has been asked to be a "Coach" for other students on their retest! Thank you again!
I have a history test next week, and i only know 10 states for sure on the us map… THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS VIDEO…!
Wow- this rlly helped. I had a test on the 50 states and this really helped me! thx :)
Very helpful, thanks a lot.
this was very helpful! thank you :)
Wow, this video is a lifesaver! I love how you created this elaborate storyline and added extra drawings and things🤩 This was very educational in a fun way!! I love Chef Mimal😂 I really hope I can pass my test tomorrow🤞
Me to
Thank you so much! I have a semester final on 50 states and 10 bodies of water I'm going to ace it now!
this is so helpful thankyou!!!
Great video! We'll be using this for homeschool
You made my work easy to learn these states finally.I enjoyed your teaching method and subscribed your channel right away after watching this video.
I learned a song, I think, called Fifty Nifty United States in early middle school and haven’t ever forgotten it.
Soooo smart! Love it, thanks.
I suck at memorizing locations, I hsve a test on this soon and I am struggling, let's hope this helps!
Thank you so much for this!!!
I liked the Kentucky and the ten plates. that helped me memorize and its really cute! also Cant, nuck and Wo were helpful :)
😀This video helped me so much. Our teacher showed it to us and I now know all of the states and where they are! Thank you!
I love geography and im from the UK. I have always been fascinated in learning about the US states and areas as its massive compared to the UK.
Cool! I’m from the US and trying to learn more about Europe. You guys got some neat places over there.
The book is great
I hope you write a book about passing exams or memory techniques in school and university
Thanks!! It helped alot
This is super interesting and all, but I just don't know how to remember all these mnemonic devices any more than I do all the states. Like, for me, that's just as difficult :|
Welp I’m literally desperate I have a 100 question test today on the locations and the capitals
I literally memorized this whole map and I only watched it 3 times
Everyone is different try using your own mnemonic
I CAMT MEMORIZE 19 STATES
bro i start school next week for human geo and we have to memorize a bunch of stuff for a test ON THE FIRST DAY (why-) so tysm for this it rlly helped!!!
Looking forward to a School of Memory for the capitols!
This is great. Thank you!
I use some memory techniques to name the letters of the flags used by the US Navy to communicate between ships. For example, the flag for W had a red square in the center and I all I can see is "red eye whiskey" or W. Get it. It's done by association.
It helps me a lot! Thank you!
“Full-sized adult” here 🤣 and this put a smile on my face as I follow the 2020 elections and remind myself of what’s where as a non-American. Need a bit of light-heartedness in my life as things unfold..
I knew all 48 states in my 6th grade back in 1944. I just had the picture of the US map in my mind, and could name them all by starting with Maine. Capitals took a little memorizing, but they roll of my tongue real easy.
I took a states quiz this Tuesday (on me second day of school) and completely failed it. We’re doing retakes today so I watched this to help me out. I’ll keep you updated on my score :D
What did you get?
@@adamarefsarabiclessons3870 still haven’t gotten my score back, but im waiting on it
what did you get
