If you're asking on the Canada server, doesn't that mean you're Canadian? And if you are, you should have no problem (French starts in fourth grade).

Brute memorisation is only necessary if you want to make it hard. Otherwise, memorise the irregulars and the rules for verbs (-er, -re, -ir).
Don't forget that all languages have expressions. Otherwise, you should be able to at least make an educated guess on what each phrase means in English after awhile.
