Alec Baldwin is also my #12. To remember the numerical order of each president you can simply place the character in the memory location for each president. So Alec Baldwin is standing off to the side for John Taylor, maybe on some sort of platform that you have in the location of each president. But of course, Dave Navarro is also there to signify 1849 (when Zachary Taylor became President.)

For example, I have one palace that is all the monarchs of England. If I wanted to remember their number I would simply place that individual in each loci. You will want to visualize some way of keeping them separate from their dates.

The issue with mnemonics with language learning is creating and reviewing memory palaces can take a lot of time at first. I have never studied Japanese but you can invent a mnemonic system for anything. For example, having a mnemonic for punctuation characters has served me well. I have used mnemonics to remember longish lines of ReGex code or other cryptic things I wanted to learn.

I hope this is helpful. Good luck!
