I am trying to memorize a paragraph that is 35 sentences long. Ive tried everything writing it down, saying it over and over agian, typing it. However when I try saying it without the sheet I find myself skipping lines, adding words and stubling all over myself. Is there any help for me please.

well, i was gonna say writing it down, cuz you can remember it in your head, like see it on the paper. but since you said you already did that...try like highlighting like every sentence a different color. that maybe help, that's what i do!
well, hope i helped!

Take small bites. Don't try to swallow the whole elephant in one sitting.
Take just a few sentences (no more than three at a time) and work on them until you feel you have them correctly memorized. Then go to the next few. Memorize them and then combine them with the first few sentences. Do this until all 35 are done.
Another tip that might help you is to picture what you are saying before trying to memorize.
Draw a picture of the 35 sentences. This will help you also because people remember what they see. 75% of everything you learn is through images.
Good luck, hope this helps you. :-)

If I were you, I would think about the interesting parts. First, get the easy sentences down pack and then add on one sentence at a time. Before you know it, you'll memorize the entire paragraph. Everywhere you go, repeat the sentences that you already know, over and over. Never give up. I hope this helps.

memorize it piece by piece first. don't look at it as a 35 sentence paragraph. Just think of it as a paragraph.

I can share a personal experience, I had problems with English vocabulary, what worked for me, taping the words I had to remember and playing the tape in my car and at nights during sleeping.
