How do I use this phrase by heart? Thanks.
A native speaker told me he could tell me something by heart.
I was sure he meant that he wanted to tell me something by remembering.
But I found many people who used this phrase as "remember well" and "keep frimly in mind".
How do you use this phrase? Could you make some examples for me? Thanks.

Answer

Use it like this :

learn + something + by heart

This means to memorise something exactly, word-for-word.

e.g. When I was at school, I had to learn poetry by heart.  
e.g. I love this song - I have learnt the lyrics by heart.

Answer

"I remember off by heart"... This is a phrase people say when they remember something very clearly for example... If someone has just learnt how to count in Japanese from 1 to 10 and then they begin to count from 1 to 10 without forgetting or making any mistakes.... This means they remember off by heart. In other words, they remember every single number clearly. Hope this helps
