At school, various poems are often asked at home. Those who have already graduated from the educational institution remember well how they had to memorize phrases that never entered my head. The main task of the evening was to memorize rhymes so as not to get a bad mark the next day. At such moments, I really wanted to learn how to quickly memorize lines. Let's take a closer look at how to quickly learn a poem.
How to learn?
No wonder the school curriculum provides for frequent memorization of poems. This is how memory is trained.
For the evening
The following step-by-step instructions should be followed:
- start reading the work aloud; it is desirable to carry out such manipulation several times;
- when you read, present a complete picture of what the author of the poem wants to convey to you;
- then go to slow mode, that is, read the lines slowly, while partially trying to remember the words;
- take a sheet of paper and rewrite the poem, pronouncing it aloud, while dividing each individual column into several lines;
- read the work from the sheet; it is better to repeat each line separately, starting with the very first;
- very often a person, reciting a poem, begins to stammer; so here is the beginning of that line, which is given especially poorly, write on a separate sheet and peep into it;
- if you have time before passing the poem, then read it several times before bedtime; the next day you will see good results.
In 5 minutes
This technique is only slightly different from the general rules. First, you need to read the poem several times with feeling and arrangement, while deciding on the main topic. When you start reading, then try immediately build associations and objectsthat are present in the work. Develop a chronological order and when reading, try to ponder each word.
You can also do this:
- record the poem on the recorder;
- listen to the dictaphone recording as much as you need or ask to read you a poem several times aloud to a loved one;
- then repeat the work yourself.
When you start memorizing a poem before going to bed, you will see how effective this method is. The next morning you will notice that you remember almost all the lines from the work. To fix the result, you just have to repeat them out loud. And you can combine the useful with the pleasant. For example, try to wash the dishes and at the same time learn a poem at the same time. Take frequent and short breaks between memorizations. Let your brain realize and “digest” the imposed information. And the line that you cannot immediately remember is better to skip and continue to recite the verse. Learn basic phrases. And those words that are not amenable to quick memorization, learn after.
Use the cheat sheet. Write hard phrases into it and constantly peep. This method does not work immediately. Need to hone skill. The main thing is to connect the subconscious, then you will succeed.
Large amount of text
Long text can be learned using visual or auditory perception of information. Specifically, there are the following ways to memorize large volumes:
- rational memorization involves the use of logical memory, that is, you need to understand the text;
- mnemotechnical memorization provides for the memorization of semantic information;
- mechanical memorization involves ordinary cramming.
There are some subtleties that allow you to quickly learn a large text volume. To do this, follow these steps:
- decide on the main components of the text and highlight them;
- you can just sing what you have to memorize or read with an expression;
- read until you understand the point, then ask yourself questions in the text and answer them;
- writing a text with an “unusual” hand is also an effective way.
Memorization technique
Those who have a good memory can easily remember information. The question arises, how to learn the text with a bad memory. There are special techniques for this. However, remember that it is impossible to say exactly which technique will be the best, since the information has varying degrees of complexity. Look at the methods below and use the one that suits you.
- In short, this is a Gadfly (basic thoughts, careful reading, review, debugging). First, we just read the text, then we read it carefully. The next step is to read the text in reverse. So you will intuitively check how you remember the text. And then comes the repetition, and this is the "mother" of the doctrine.
- Another technique that provides for several rules for memorization in the native language. First we write down the text, then graphically we need to highlight the main points. Then we divide the text into parts and move on to permanent memorization.
- We use pictograms. First, highlight the keywords and expressions with the help of icons. We simply depict the words as you imagine them. If the word “bird” is in front of you, then we draw a bird, if the next word is a man, then we draw a little man. Then we remember and retell everything.
- You can also divide the text into paragraphs and print them individually. Hang sheets in rooms and read from time to time.
Adult Tips
This category of population can be recommended to use the techniques of mnemonics. Those who do not yet know the essence should read the following information.The combination of various methods that help to quickly remember a huge amount of information, experts call mnemonics. Its essence is to memorize numbers and numbers, as well as information and sequence. Mnemonics allows you to develop a good memory for everyone. The main thing is to start training, which can be done at any age. It is still necessary to understand the principle of operation of this method and learn how to use it in practice.
Let us consider in more detail what are the techniques of mnemonics. So, it’s easier for a person to remember logical, associative, figurative or other connections between objects. But the objects themselves are perceived poorly. Therefore, if there is no connection between the objects, then they need to be created. There are certain recommendations for this. For example, an object that carries basic information is given a certain appearance. We also deal with other objects. Then we combine the invented images. Thus we encode images, and then, when they need to be removed from memory, we decrypt.
The technique is not clear and complicated to everyone. But it will seem so at first glance. When you understand the point, you will see that everything works quite simply. The main thing is that this method trains memory very well. The data obtained using mnemonics has been stored by our brain for a very long time, since memorization is based on a visual solution. For example, if you need to remember the number 3, then associate it with the Serpent Gorynych, and the number 5 is easily associated with the palm. Thus, you can remember any mathematical formula. And keep in mind: the more colorful the picture, the faster you remember the numbers.
Important! If the number is quite large, then divide it into several parts.
Instructions for creative people
Everything is always easier for such people, therefore the recommendations will be simple but effective, namely:
- use paper sources (books, printed text) when learning by heart information; the phone or tablet will not work;
- when reading, there should be a pencil in your hand, when you take notes, the text is quickly remembered; working with a pencil, we send a signal to the brain that information is very important, we give impetus to the intellectual perception of the text;
- when you have a large amount of information that is placed on several pages, then bookmark where the information for memorization is placed;
- outline what you have to remember well; if it is a poem, then copy it on paper from memory;
- quotes from a text or from a large poetic work must be recorded in a separate notebook;
- make associative cards; this most creative approach will help you quickly remember a large text;
Retell the texts you read to other people, so you share useful information with people and fix the necessary information in your head.
