Can you name and place all 50 states on a US map?

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 😭😂

I like this concept. It's like memorizing music notes. It spells out words like ACE, FACE, BEAD, etc.

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.

I have a history test today! It’s on the 50 states, this helped me sooo much! Please keep on making this awesome content!!!🙃

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

Let’s just be happy Nevada does not start with a “F” instead of N

You are genius! you can't imagine how you have helped me with remembering the states!

Have job interview that requires me to know all 50 states. I love that Chef Mimal ! lol

Here are 2 series of statements that may help you learn and memorize the names and 2 letter postal abbreviations of the 50 states as well. There are 4 states that begin with the letter A: Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, and Arkansas There are 3 states that begin with the letter C: California, Colorado, and Connecticut There is 1 state that begins with the letter D: Delaware There is 1 state that begins with the letter F: Florida There is 1 state that begins with the letter G: Georgia There is 1 state that begins with the letter H: Hawaii There are 4 states that begin with the letter I: Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, and Iowa There are 2 states that begin with the letter K: Kansas and Kentucky There is 1 state that begins with the letter L: Louisiana There are 8 states that begin with the letter M: Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, and Montana There are 8 states that begin with the letter N: Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, and North Dakota. There are 3 states that begin with the letter O: Ohio, Oklahoma, and Oregon There is 1 state that begins with the letter P: Pennsylvania There is 1 state that begins with the letter R: Rhode Island There are 2 states that begin with the letter S: South Carolina and South Dakota There are 2 states that begin with the letter T: Tennessee and Texas There is 1 state that begins with the letter U: Utah There are 2 states that begin with the letter V: Vermont and Virginia There are 4 states that begin with the letter W: Washington, West Virginia, Wisconsin, and Wyoming. The 2 letter postal codes for the 50 U.S. states are as follows. 1) The first letter of each states 2 letter postal code is the first letter in the name of that state. This is true for all 50 states. 2) There are 10 states that have a 2 word state name. For each of these 10 states the 2 letter postal code is the first letter of both words. New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, and West Virginia 3) The 2 letter postal code for each of the following states is the 1st and 2nd letter in that states name Alabama, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Delaware, Florida, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Massachusetts, Michigan, Nebraska, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Utah, Washington, Wisconsin, and Wyoming 4) The 2 letter postal code for each of the following states is the 1st and 3rd letters in that states name. Minnesota, Mississippi, Nevada, Tennessee, and Texas 5) The 2 letter postal code for each of the following states is the 1st and LAST letter in that states name Connecticut, Georgia, Hawaii, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Vermont, and Virginia 6) These 4 states do not follow rules 2, 3, 4, or 5 at all. Alaska, Arizona, Missouri, and Montana. Hopefully these 2 series of statements can help you learn this whole video a little easier as well. Here are a few other facts that may help you learn parts of this video as well. Hawaii and Alaska do not not border any other U.S. states. Maine borders only 1 other U.S. state (New Hampshire) Florida, Rhode Island, and Washington border only 2 other U.S. states. All other states border at least 3 other states. Missouri and Tennessee each border 8 other states. (Missouri borders Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Tennessee, Kentucky, and Illinois) (Tennessee borders Kentucky, Missouri, Arkansas, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, North Carolina, and Virginia) The 5 great lakes touch 8 U.S. states. They are Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and New York. 4 U.S. states border Mexico. Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, and California. 13 U.S. states border Canada. They are Alaska, Washington, Idaho, Montana, North Dakota, Minnesota, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York, Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine.

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

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 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?

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 :)

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!! I've been trying so hard to memorize them. This video is very helpful.

Just a Brit who wants to learn the US states, thank you for this amazing technique/ video

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!! 🎉

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

0:46~ cant : california, arizona, new mexico, texas 1:09 ~ nuck : nevada, utah, colorado, kansas 2:04 ~ at the top it goes : north dakota, south dakota, nebraska 2:15 ~ oklahoma : is shaped like a knife and the handle is made of oak 2:28 ~ next to north dakota is montana ( the edges look like mountains ) 2:44 ~ idaho : next to montana and looks like a lower case i 2:55 ~ washington : is next to the water, you think ‘Woah’ because you don’t want to go in the water 2:58 ~ oregon : below washington 3:08 ~ mimal ( shaped like a chef ) : Minnesota , iowa, missouri 3:32 ~ minnesota ~ mini mouse ( minnesota ) 3:39 ~ iowa ~ where the chefs eye is 3:47 ~missouri ~ where his heart is ( if he gets hit we need it to ‘miss’ his heart ) 4:04 ~ arkansas and louisiana , louisiana is shaped like an L 4:20 ~ at the chest there is a straight area : the square is tennesee, on top of that is kentucky 4:40 ~ the chef is holding a ten plates, tennessee + on the plate is ‘kentucky’ fried chicken 5:05 ~ wisconsin ( top ), illinois ( underneath wisconsin ), indiana ( next to illinois ), ohio, ( next to the two I’s ), michigan (above io), and pennsylvania 5:35 ~ maine, on the top ( the “main” point of the mao ) 5:45 ~ new hampshire ( it’s shaped like a backwards h ) 5:48 ~ vermont, shaped like a V 5:50 ~ ‘massive’ hook shape - massachusetts 6:02 ~ island are small - rhode island

What a wonderful way to learn the states, but more important, to learn their location. The grandchildren will love this. Thank you.

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!

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 😭

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.

- California, Arizona, New Mexico & Texas 1:02 - Nevada, Utah, Colorado & Kansas 1:12 - North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska & Oklahoma 2:06 - Montana, Idaho, Washington Oregon & Wyoming 2:28 - Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri Arkansas & Louisiana 3:09 - Tennessee & Kentucky 4:22 - Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio & Pennsylvania 4:52 - Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, New York, Connecticut, New Jersey & Delaware 5:34 - Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia, North Carolina & South Carolina 6:31 - Mississippi, Alabama & Georgia 7:00 - Florida Alaska & Hawaii 7:18

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

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

Love it! Just preordered your book!

Thanks for this video. I’ve read many books by other memory experts but find your writing style and KZfaq videos the easiest to follow.

Loved the method and the very friendly and cool presenting personality. Thanks, Nelson. I like you & your work!

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!

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!

This was really helpful !🔥🔥

This is an amazing video btw, I have a hard time memorizing things and am just watching this on repeat

I suck at memorizing locations, I hsve a test on this soon and I am struggling, let's hope this helps!

Incredibly helpful, thank you so much!!

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!

Thank you for that lesson that really helped me I am terrible about the states!

This made me remember about like 20 states and before I knew none thank you so much!!!!

Awesome contect, and so interesting!

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 :)

So helpful!! Any tricks for remembering what states are in what time zone? I have an upcoming test on that!!

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!

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

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.

I learned them all in 1 day 😁 Thank you so much ☺️👌🏾

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

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.

That penguin is so cute! (we had to watch this for class lol)

The book is great I hope you write a book about passing exams or memory techniques in school and university

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 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

this was very helpful! thank you :)

This is super creative 🙂. Thank you Nelson 🍀💪.

this is so helpful thankyou!!!

Fantastic! Is a follow up in the works for the state capitals? :)

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!

“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 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.

I am 54 almost and I still can't tell you where all of the states are, though I can name many of them. I am visual and I think I will learn this for sure. I will study it. As a graduate I applied for the PO and I had to take a test to get it, I scored 100 percent because I learned streets and numbers as stories, got hired and worked for 15 years. I will try this now, I didn't think of it before. Thanks, it was funny and that is why I will remember it

Could you please do one on the Caribbean? Love the videos.

Thanks Mr.Nelson for this trick of memorizing.

And remember kids.. 4 out of 5 great lakes prefer MICHIGAN !!!!!

You saved my life! This video is very helpful! LOVE IT

I liked the Kentucky and the ten plates. that helped me memorize and its really cute! also Cant, nuck and Wo were helpful :)

Need more of this content 😍

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)

I find it helps if you pause after each chunk and try and remember the ones covered in that section.

Wow great but you have to kinda be familiar with the states. Congrats on 100K btw!

THIS IS FANTASTIC

Do you have a video to memorize each estate's capital? I just subscribed to your channel 👍

Tysm for this I have a test today and I didn’t study so this helps so much lol

Looking forward to a School of Memory for the capitols!

Yes, since my 6th grade (48 states in 1944). It is easy if you have the map of the US engraved in you mind.

Wow- this rlly helped. I had a test on the 50 states and this really helped me! thx :)

This is so helpful! i did this the night before my big quiz and the neumonic device helped soooooo much!

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.

I have a US map that I got when I was six. Eight years later, I know where every state is and their names. I also have a quarter collection so It’s pretty much set in my brain

How did you think of all those things !?? You are insane, I subbed cuz you deserve it

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🤞

Thank you so much! I have a semester final on 50 states and 10 bodies of water I'm going to ace it now!

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!!!

When your mom says clean your room but you say it’s my room and your mom say it’s my house and you say then go clean it. Mom: speechless 😶 you:🤓

This is SO helpul! I learnt them all in barely an hour thanks to your method, incredible :D

😀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 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…!

Best video ever I had a test tomorrow and didn’t know any of these since I don live in the US and know I am getting a 100% thankyou

Thanks! Very helpful

Thanks!! It helped alot

Job well done! This is a wonderful resource for my students to learn their states.

I can't express how much this how helped me , thank you its greatly appreciated.

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.

Huge help this work soo well thank you sooo much

This is great. Thank you!

I literally just learned all 50 states within and hour using your video!!! Your GOATED! 🐐🔥🔥

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 :|

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
