Learn something so you can recall it exactly
To learn something so well that you can say or write it without looking.
Μοτίβο χρήσης:
to memorize [something]
Συχνό λάθος:
Learners often confuse "memorize" with "remember". "Memorize" is the active process of learning something so you can remember it later (e.g., "I will memorize this poem tonight"), while "remember" is the state of already having it in your memory (e.g., "I remember this poem"). Another mistake is saying *"memorize by heart"*, which is redundant in English; you can say either "memorize it" or "learn it by heart", but not both together in a natural way.
