For me, re-writing or typing out my notes helped me memorize things better… I would also read them aloud while studying.

Okay. First of all, you might want to not just memorize things, but use them. It’s easier to remember working knowledge, not just wrote memorizations. Like in french, I remember the phrase “Qu’est-ce que tu fais?” Because it means “What are you doing?” and it’s a phrase I can use everyday.

If not, the try tapping it out. I memorized all the presidents last year by getting into a rhythm with their names, and abberviating when the rhythm didn’t match [sorry i’m a bad speller]. I can still recite them to this day.

Or, try associating them with other things. It’s proven, not just by perverts, that the nastier the things you associate it with, the more likely you’ll remember. Like this Trig equation:

SOHCAHTOA

How are you ever going to remember that, right?

Well:

Strip Off Her Chonies And Her Top Ohh Ay!

You’ll never forget it, trust me.

Or, if it’s definitions, just associate easier [mayber dirtier] words.

didactic= a moralizing dick. [something that is boring and overly instructional…blah blah.]

Dear Brother,

Do you hate the language?Do you perceive the language is difficult for you?If so you better develop positive attitude towards the language.The other thing is that while you are memorizing you should avoid thinking some other issues from your mind.Keep a short note in your hand to remind what is missed.

Good luck.

you should try reviewing them everyday or have your friends that are in that class randomly test you. it might be that you just don’t look at it enough times to really memorize it. you just look at it once and so you remember it for a short time but because you’re not familiar with it, you can’t remember it for a long time.
