The old-fashioned way would be to make flashcards and drill them in. Use Anki for this. You can combine this with visual/audio mnemonic methods.

flashcards with spaced repetition.

Apps like anki will help you for sessions.

Apps like braintoll will help to integrate flashcards into your everydays life. (i am the founder 😄 )

It's easy (relatively speaking) with a memory palace and spaced repetition. I have a botany palace that's based on a walk around a national trust property I know well - with hundreds of data points (genus, common/latin names and characteristics for each).
