How to remeber Gurbani ?

waheguru jee ka khalsa, waheguru ji ki fateh.

I'm new to sikhi, can anyone give advice on how to learn Gurbani, really want to learn japi ji sahib as a starter, I tried asking some locals on how to learn Gurbani, they turn around and told me 'people that are stuck in the 5 vikaars, that are manmukhs, can't remember gurbani', which wasn't really helpful.

Any Unique tips would be helpful Sangat jee.

The more you recite Gurbani the more you will automatically remember it. Its your mind that does the recalling. Gurbani is meant to save you from the 5 vikaars, how is that possible if you dont recite it continuously ? 

Whoever gave you that advice did not give you the correct guidance.
