Capitals of the Continents
Every journey into world geography starts with the same building block: knowing which city runs which country. This beginner set gathers the capitals almost everyone recognises — Paris, Tokyo, Cairo — and spreads them across six continents so you build a mental map of the whole globe, not just one corner of it. There are no trick questions here; these are the anchor facts that make the harder sets later feel easy.

Learn them in small continent-sized groups rather than as one long list. Picture where each country sits before you recall its capital — tying the name to a place on the map makes it stick far better than rote repetition. A few minutes of review each day beats one long cram session.
