I found a cheaters way to remember things :3 write them on your hand so you don't forget when you know you will forget! ^-^v Though I am always scared to fall asleep even for a second because that ink might end up on my face. Though it does smear off easy if you're not careful. You could possibly get caught too. So it's best to write small notes to help you remember~ keke.
What is the best way you learned to remember phrases in Japanese? Or anything besides cramming like we do for school~.
