Repetition is the key to learning. That's what was drummed into me during college Elementary Education classes.

Also the more senses you involve in learning the better you'll remember things. For example: when I had to learn the names of the bones in the body for biology, I wrote all the names down on little bits of paper. Then I placed them face down on a printout I found of the human skeleton. Then I went through and guessed the names, flipped over each paper and checked myself. That method involved: Tactile learning - I WROTE the names, I TOUCHED and flipped over the pieces. Oral learning - I SAID the names each time when I guessed and then again when I checked myself. Auditory - I HEARD myself saying the names each time. Visual Learning - I was seeing the names and their corresponding positions in the body.
The more senses that you can use to learn the quicker and more solidly you'll learn things. I learned the names of the bones of the body 14 years ago and though I'm a little rusty I can remember nearly all of them.
