1. Find a quiet place to study, this will help you focus.

2. Make intention. Be sincere in seeking Allah's pleasure to gain reward only from him.

3. Start with Dua's for Seeking Knowledge.  Ask Allah (swt) to make your task easy and help you keep a positive outlook. 

َوَ مَنْ َسَلَكطَِريْقااًيَْلاتَم ُس ِفيْهعْلمااً َسّهَ الُ َلُه ِبِهطَِريْقااً ِاَلىاْل َجانِّ

The Messenger of Allah said; “Whoever treads a path in search of knowledge,

Allah makes easy for him the path to Jannah.” (Muslim).

4. Next, read the verses or lesson you are learning in English.  If you are memorizing a lesson from the Blue Juz, read the English running translation before you start to memorize.  This will make it easier for you and help you to have a full understanding of what the verses are conveying.
