How I Use Received Corrections
I always go through the corrections once I receive them. I stop at each one of them, and I make sure that I understand why it was corrected that way. Most of the time, I immediately realize what was wrong. But sometimes, I further discuss the mistake with the corrector. After some time, I read my old journals to see the corrections again. Seeing them more than once helps to remember the correct phrases. If I were a beginner, I would undoubtedly write the mistakes and vocabulary on paper.

At least, I *think* this is incorrect. Certainly my suggestion is definitely correct. Or "helps you to remember", "helps in/with remembering".

You've made an elementary error here: how can you possibly apply this process if you don't make any mistakes?! :)
Oh, no, wait, I see one. "helps me to remember". Massive.

Thank you for the suggestions!
I didn't include "me" because I meant the sentence as a general truth.
From the Cambridge dictionary:
"If something or someone helps to do something, that thing or person is one of several reasons for it happening:
Example: The drought has helped (to) make this a disastrous year for Somalia."
I believe the same structure is applicable to my sentence as well.
But I agree that it feels unnatural in the given context.

Thank you for correcting my journal! Next time, I'll try harder to make more mistakes! :)

Yeah, there's many many contexts you can do that in. That's why I wasn't even sure it was incorrect :) Just feels weird with "to remember".
Generic you is very useful for making sentences like that applicable as general truths.
