When I try to remember where I traveled or where I have to go to catch a bus, train or something else, I always have great difficulties to remember city names if they are in a foreign language. The name just doesn't sound familiar and so I think it is more difficult to remember.
As a small example: I don't forget the name Auschwitz (the German name), but I always forget the Polish name Oświęcim.
Is there any technique to decrease these difficulties?
