Read them forwards once, than backwards once, and forward again. It really hits the brain.

you help trying am I

You brain will want to say it correctly and will place it in processing.

This may just be my weird way of learning them, but I always picture the scene and the other actors when I read the lines. I "listen" to characters saying their lines, then I respond with mine. After the 2nd or 3rd read-through, I can remember what all my lines are *about* and then I can read through a few more times to get the exact wording.

Read the whole script over and over, so you can know when and why your saying your lines. It helps because if you know why your saying your lines than it kinda makes more sense and they come more naturally. If your just saying them and you don't know why than it becomes harder.
