how to remember
Do you remember the scene in Saving Private Ryan when Private Ryan could not remember any of his brother’s faces? And Captain Miller played by Tom Hanks said ‘it is because you are not associating it with anything, try to remember a specific memory, than you will see their faces.’ Similarly when scientists are trying to determine a person’s raw memory ability they give their test subjects random number digits to recall. This is because there are no associations connected with raw numbers so you are testing absolute memory.
What is the point? If you want to learn a language try to connect the words you learn with something or your brain will not recall it. It could be anything,As long as its sensory or imaginatively rich and real enough for your brain to have something to latch on to.
