How do you memorize?
I am a student taking clase español.I am pretty good at remembering words and their meanings, but Its hard for me to remember the following:
where the accents go in a word to change the word based on gender and number
and the most biggest problem i have is remember words so deep in my brain so i dont need think about a sentence it can come to me just as good as my native language, english. What do you do to help you? Thanks!!! Gracias!

Memory works in different ways. Memory works best when you see the word, hear the word, write the word and say the word. These are all different types of memory. For example when you play an instrument your fingers "memorize" the music. I'm studying Chinese and I use all these methods, but repetition is probably what works best for me. They say that you must repeat a word 10 000 times before it registers into your long term memory.
Hi Saysay, and welcome to the forum. Memorization is easy for a small percentage of the population, but not for most of us. It requires, focus, time and attention. I am sending you a link to help with the accents.
As far as memorizing words so you don't have to think about them, that takes time and repetition. Try to use new words as often as possible. On this site, there is a word of the day. We all work together on creating sentences with the new word, or we try to find something funny or clever to work on as a group in order to lock that word in our heads. So come join the fun. There are plenty of people here to help and encourage you.
The only thing we ask is that you use proper spelling, grammar and punctuation here because this is a language learning site.
