I need help ASAP. I need to memorize 20+ lines of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, and I need ways to do it. Please give any helpful tips that you use or people you know use. THX :)

i try to kind of put it into sections in my head to memorize, and i associate it with a movement or a thought or a color. writing it down and reading it out loud as you do it can help.

Thank u! this is so helpful, it's just all the thou, dost, mayst words. it's like a whole different language. lol

Ive always written things out that i need to memorize. As i write i will read the words. If we are talking Shakespeare here. I used a mirror and recited the lines over and over again. If not, fine tip pen and free arm. Cheat sheet.

the reciting in front of a mirror is interesting, I'll try it. Writing on arm will not work because I have to present in front of 23 students + my teacher, and I am not that slick. thx

Put it to a rhythm and pace back and forth as I repeat it to myself.
sometimes if it’s really difficult, I use hand motions (usually when memorizing bible verses)

thx, i've been trying to put the complete thoughts together, so it doesn't sound so choppy, and I feel like this will make it sound a little more put together.
