Talking about Memory and Learning

Lythiah

Hello everyone! 

The last days I have had some questions in my head and I would be happy, if you have time and space to answer them :) 


How good is your memory?

Mine is really bad, which makes learning new languages extremely difficult. Therefore I was wondering if any of you guys are also struggling with that.
Do you have anything that helps you learn more effectively? 
And what do you do to stay focused? 

I also am not so good with remembering faces. Or who said what. 
Can you relate? Also what helps you remembering? 

I would also like to hear your stories regarding that topic :) 
Thank you for reading and answering!

  • yes I am like you I always wanted to learn Italian but couldn't no matter how hard I tried. I have memory issues as well. The downside of this is if things are constantly changing as in the IT industry it can make you anxious u are falling behind

    Up side is I can forget dramatic/ trauma causing events and carry on without issue.

    I could never be an actress and learn lines for example.

    "candle staring" meditation helped increase my concentration  and notice when my ADHD mind suddenly switches elsewhere.  I have Dyslexia as well so I read differently in that a word  shape is very important to me.

    writing things i need to be memorised  is the only thing that worked for me eg for exams

    3 times is the optimal apparently.
