Ways to improve your learning skills:

  • Ask questions! People who are curious and ask a lot of questions learn more than people who are afraid to ask anything. Ask all sorts of questions, too -- how does it work, what does it do, where did it come from, what is it's name -- any question will help you learn more information.
  • Practice! Learn how to take good notes in class, and how to outline information. Learn how to listen and read for the most important information in a topic. The more you practice learning, the better you get.

Keep trying different methods for memory work and other tasks until you find the ones that work for you.
