How can I learn my times tables more completely?
I have never been able to pick up times tables. They vex me to this day. I am left in wonder when ever I encounter someone that can do them forwards and backwards. Starting at any point from 7 x 6 to 9 x 9 without even batting an eyelid.
Having the ability to completly understand and know my times tables would be an enormous milestone in my life.
Thank you for taking the time to read my quiery.

Flash cards may help. However, what would be even better is to get HUGE chart paper like elementary teachers write on. Put down all your times tables on chart paper in RED. Hang them up all around your room so they are constantly there. Give it a few weeks and they'll be memorized or easier to recall.
You have the same ability as anyone else does to learn and retain them. Even if labelled learning disabled which you may be there's always a way to learn but it may be different than usual. Find out for yourself what triggers you to recall things like this and use little tricks. Keep practicing.
I don't know your financial situation or your parents but explain to them that this greatly troubles you and that you want help with it. Have them put you in Kumon Math, Sullivan, Oxford or similar program to boost your mathematics. They have trained teachers who know how to handle and resolve this situation. They'll make you a whiz kid.

Use a number square and chant them out- the old fashioned way is always the best.
As for the nine times table- look at the columns of numbers when I write a list of the multiples; they go 0123456789 - up on one side and down on the other- see?
