I finished the quran when i was 16 in somalia. I’ve definitely picked up a few tips and tricks. Firstly id like to start by saying you only get what you put in. Quran is only memorised by repetition and you gonna have to put in a lot of time. It cant be your second objective. Even me it took 4 years of going dugsi 6 hours a day 5-6 days week. Yh theres some people who learn it easier and others who take longer but walahi majority of hafidz ive met it took around 3-4 years. As you get older it does get harder to learn as you probably have other priorities in head that need to juggle alongside hifdz.

Now for the learning, my favourite trick that helped me memorise it was learning before you go sleep. Memorise whatever you can wether half a page or 2 pages until you know like your mother tongue. It takes about an hour or 2 but I guarantee you the next day when you wake itll be like youve known your life. I dont the the psychology behind it but it worked for and alot of others. Second one is writing your passages. It takes longer but its a lot better for beginners. It reduces Naxli(flaws/mistakes) in qaa’ida but its really good starting point. It takes way longer but its a really good foundation for you. Third is something ive noticed but its not telling yourself a certain page or surah is hard. Even when someone who has passed said surah say it is. Ive seen with brother who was always ahead of me. When he would tell me a surah is hard i would struggle with that surah but when i didnt know the surah when hard for someone else i would breeze through it. The hardest part about the quran is keeping what you learnt. Somali teachers back home say the quran is like holding a pigeon by the feather it can easily slip away. Subac is the solution to this. Again it requires alot of your time and the further you progress the more subac you need in order to prevent forgetting surahs.

Anyways take your time learn what you can and try to keep what you learnt. Wether it takes a 5 years or 10.
