Memorization has never been my forte. But at least when I was still in grade school and high school, I memorize things after going them over dozen of times. I didn’t like history classes because of the dates, names, places I had to memorize, but I somehow managed to get through them. In most cases, I forget everything after every exam. As I breeze through more than two decades of my life, my memorization skill seems to degrade. Does having gone through pregnancy have to do with this? If I had managed to memorize things after 12 repetitions, now I need to repeat it a dozen times more! This makes my struggle with the Japanese language more difficult. I guess every flash memory device far exceeds my ability to retain information!

Do you have any idea how to boost your memory? A tip or two would be much appreciated.
