Cement
Hi,
If you want some information to become fixed in your mind, you need to read it a couple of times to ‘cement’ it.
Would ‘cement’ be appropriate here? I was told by an anonymous that it doesn’t work, but I’d like to know what other people think. If it’s not the right word to use, could you give me some alternatives similar to ‘cement’?
I’m sure that there must be a word that would convey the meaning I have in mind.
Thank you.

Ann225 If you want some information to become fixed in your mind, you need to read it a couple of times to ‘cement’ it . The underlined part is actually redundant; note that you've conveyed the idea previously by the "to be fixed in your mind". That said, 'cement' would not be the right word - 'stick in' would be apt: If you want some information to stick in your mind, you need to read it a couple of times.
