If you want to remember something connect it to a strong memory. If you want to learn a language, fall in love with someone speaking that language and your hippocampus will be bathed in hormones that will help you with this process.

The exact mechanism is phosphate molecules which are produced from norepinephrine. The net result is emotions play a significant role in learning, memory, and remembering even trivial events.  If there is a way you can connect your language learning to emotions you will greatly enhance your learning and memory.
