Many have a lot to say about memorization, but our experience proves the talk of methods and tricks to be false.  We have an incredible amount of information memorized that we never sat down and chanted or learned by any clever tricks.  The truth is that we memorize information that we are immersed in. We memorize the names of things around us by the fact that they we think and speak of them frequently.  We memorize our prayers because we recite them often.  We memorize the words to songs because we hear them often.  Likewise, if we immerse ourselves in our lessons and study them constantly, we will memorize the content.  The only reason why memorization methods appear to work is that we're immersing ourselves in the content we're memorizing in an especially intense way.
