It helps to just practice writing and saying out loud each line 5 or so times, until you memorize it. A line=5 characters beginning with each sound (Ka, ki, ku, ke, ko or na, ni, nu, ne, no) With enough practice, they will stick. It will also help to study it with friends, and you can quiz each other. :3

When I first started learning Japanese I wrote lines of the characters, much like an elementary school student would learn how to write english characters.
My Japanese Professor uses pictures that somehow incorporate the Hiragana or Katakana character in them (for example the Hiragana for NU looked like a noodle). This seemed to work for a fair amount of people so maybe you could try finding something like that.

I recommend writing the characters because when you do, you are not only learning how to write them, but you are also learning how to recognize them at the same time.

This is how I learned Katakana.
This is how I WILL learn Hiragana.

This helped me i learned kana is just over 2 1/2 weeks. Everytime one would flash on the screen i would write it first to get use to it then answer.

You learn to write Japanese the same way you learn to ride a bicycle. Not by learning "the theory" or watching it get done by someone else, but by repeatedly performing the action over and over until you can do it without thinking.

Think about it this way: Do you have to think about each pencil stroke involved when you make a lowercase g?

Hiragana is super important to remember early.
I recently wrote a post about that on my blog. Some resources linked at the bottom as well.

Do you know your kana?
