contact me and I will send you my two page article on learning your lines.

One way that has helped me in the past is recording. I will record my lines and replay them and recite them.

Many ways. First, get a friend to sit next to you and read all the other peoples lines from the script, and you say your lines. Skip the scenes you are not in. One thing I like to do is have somebody say the line before my line, then say my line, then I say my line back to them. Read your lines over and over out loud.

just focus it's all worth it

re-read the script
have your parents/friends/guardians or anyone help you
stand in your room and act out ur lines
remember what line you say your line is after

practice practice practice
read it when you have time

I split everything into sections to memorize (really short sections as in just a few lines) and work on memorizing just that section before moving on to the next section. I memorized a half page monologue (letter sized page) a couple months ago in an hour and a half (including breaks). That was just getting the words memorized but then I was able to go back and fine tune everything.

Hope that helps!

I like to learn mine section by section. Reading aloud helps, but when I have a large chunk of dialouge to remember, I write it down over and over.

The way they do it in Hollywood is to take one line at a time, they read it to themselves repeatedly off the set, maybe a few lines, whatever they feel comfortable absorbing into their memory lobes, then they read it out loud repeatedly until they feel they got the right delivery, then they go out in front of the cameras and try to impress Director's like myself, who make em do it until WE feel it sounds and looks right for OUR movie, after all a film maker's reputation is on the line and these overpaid wanabes and prima donnas had better get it right or take flight.!(lol)Incidentally, I'm gonna make the greatest movies on the Planet if and when I get financed, sooo ya better stay in touch.

Some actors learn them by reading them once, a rare breed indeed. Some actors forget their lines as soon as the play is over and others remember all or some of them for years to come.

I would suggest to get to know the play or scene you're doing. Basically, decide what the character is doing, trying to accomplish or say. Then, learn the lines in small chunks.

At the worst, if you know the play, what the character is trying to do and you forget your lines you can fake it.
