1. Start with the basic syntax/cheat-sheet of the language.

2. Read instructions as 'that's what they are' and try to come-up with examples for yourself as why they are like that. (This is a bit creative and examples are only for yourself so that you can remember it)

3. once step-2 is done, its going to make it easier to remember things via your own-made-examples and things will flow smoothly when you see things.

1. take 'concatenation'. a || b

2. remember it like you are gluing two things with || thingy. and || thingy can be remembered as a chewing-gum or anything you like

3. next time you see || you remember the object (chewing-gum) and it always leads you to concatenation.

Try it out, it might sound funny. But works..
