I was able to learn by just memorizing them or from repeatedly using them.
I just memorized them or I learned them through daily use.
ご質問ありがとうございます。
① "I was able to learn by just memorizing them"=「私は単に暗記することで覚えることができました」
"or from repeatedly using them."=「あるいは繰り返して使うことによって。」
② "I just memorized them or I learned them through daily use."=「単に暗記した、あるいは毎日の使用で覚えました。」
ご参考に。
I either learned them by straight memorization or as I went along.
この場合、次のような言い方ができますよ。
A: How did you learn Chinese characters?
「どうやって漢字を覚えたの?」
B: I either learned them by straight memorization or as I went along.
「丸暗記か使いながら覚えた」
straight memorization で「丸暗記」
ご参考まで!
