The second answerer is right. You cannot memorize a language, you LEARN it. You HAVE to UNDERSTAND what you are saying, the grammar and syntax in your sentences, know proper spelling and whatnot. However important this may be, this is not everything.





Believe it or not it is easier to learn a language than you believe (if you could learn English, then so you can do Spanish, not to mention it is very simple and logical--its rules are foolproof). All you have to do is EXPOSE yourself to the language consistently, everyday! I would suggest you to literally IMMERSE yourself into the language. Listen to Spanish music, watch Spanish movies, always have a dictionary in hand, get an account on a Spanish forum, answer Spanish exercise books, read Spanish literature, find a Spanish penpal, even train yourself to THINK in Spanish, etc.... Just make this language a part of your everyday life and practice, practice, PRACTICE! I cannot stress this enough!





You don't have to kill yourself with rote memorization, that's not only inefficient but also ineffective. The language will simply come to you naturally the more you expose yourself to it.





Good luck!
Reply:you cant memorize a language. you have to learn it and study the rules and words. you can memorize words and their translations but you have to use them in order to learn them. if your doing simple translation tests try using flashcards and then writing sentences in spanish using the word. don't cram the night before a test, every night write the word in english and spanish then write a sentence with it. it will take you two seconds tops.
