I’m trying to memorize the names of the squares and just chess notation in general.
Give this a try: lichess.org/training/coordinate
@IChrisI Think of the squares like a coordinate grid. First the row (letter) and then the column (number.)
Well there is some cordinates option in practice tools in lichess.
It will be of a good use

Always view board from white's Side .
H1 square is white . Rest can be calculated with it being a reference .

the memorizing method depends on how old you are.

Try to follow atleast 5 moves from a youtube game analysis . Pause the video , Then put the moves on the board .. The same way so on and so forth .

See the board like a 8 x 8 multiplication table. From the White side, the first rank is 1 and the last rank where the Black king is 8. From White's left most.is a. Right most is h. Easy.
Just takes some practice.when I learned chess it was with English descriptive notation where every square had two names.algebraic is easy.you can do it!!! If you go on Google Play type in chess and you can find several useful apps and they're all free.good luck!
