Can you memorize?

Post Reply New Topic

There are so many poems I wish I could memorize - does anybody have any memory tricks for that kind of thing?

recite then while listening to a favourite song, or sing them to a favourite tune? I have memorised thousands of lyrics because I love the words and the music.

If the words can be visualized than assoicaite them with object in a house. Maybe as you first walk in the door. Remeber the visualizable words this way and perhaps you can guess the non visualizable words from non-visual memory of the poems. I have used the 1-10 memey trick
1 is bun
2 is shoe
3 is tree
4 is door
5 is hive
6 is stick
7 is heaven
8 is gate
9 is wine
10 is pen

so if the first word was Clint eastwood i would visualize him laying on a giant hambuger bun, etc.

...no real tricks for poems...I just can do lists of numbers and patterns well. lol

If you focus on a few at a time and read them repetively for a week or so? You might not remember everything but some of the better passages might stick with you.

TRY READING IT, WRITTING IT OUT THEN READING IT AGAIN THEN WRITTING IT OUT AGAIN AND U SHOULD LEARN IT SLOWLY BUT SURLY!!
