how do you...?

Question

I was wondering, how do you memorize things? im finding it really hard to memorize a whole german essay, and i need some techniques on how you can remember the whole thing..... Please help me!!!!

Answer 1

There are several methods to memorization:
- Compose a song using the words, or put the words to a tune you already know
- Break the essay up and take it line by line. Memorize the first line by repeating it over and over. Then do the same with the second line. Then repeat the first and second lines together. Continue with the rest of the essay until you have it down pat.
- Try some visualization. Picture what is going on in the essay, as if it were a movie. Once you get the general "plot," down, you can focus on the individual words.

Good luck!

Answer 2

alrite first of all, write down key words of the essay. i bet u wont have to remember it word by word, but just the general message. So, you take those points, and try and get the whole essay rite from there. Then try and remember those words. Just keep going over them in ur head, and know what to say to each one, until you dont have to look at the paper anymore. If you have troubles with that, ask your teacher if you can take the lil piece of notes with u when you have to say it. its just a few words! good luck!

Answer 3

memorize the most important facts first then worry about the details when you remember the big facts first then all the details fall into place

Answer 4

I put things to music... make up a song. It provides the rhythm and tonal changes to help you remember it through your vocal and auditory senses.
