memorization techniques for student--suggestions?

[Emily Saunders]

Hello,

I tutored (provided conversational practice for) an essentially self-taught teen with Aspergers for about a year.  Her Russian was phenomenally good.  I asked her what she did to study and she said that she downloaded music from the internet, and then chose those songs that didn't "suck too bad" and listened to them all the time.  

Seemed to work very well for her.  But then she was horrible at math and numbers, so this technique may not help your student so much.
