Memory training

Short route → longer route

This is the skill that was hardest in class: understanding several commands in one sequence. Start small.

Level 1 · 2 actions

After listening, repeat the two actions in order.

Level 2 · 3 actions

If needed, say: “Sorry, could you say the last part again?”

Level 3 · 4 actions

Use: “Let me check if I understood…” + repeat the route.
