Can you give me tips on memorising the Arabic alphabet?
Thanks. I'm a complete beginner.

Could be very useless (really sorry) but perhaps you can use the following to help suggest a good way for me.

Using the Latin alphabet is native to me, but èëêéē is all é to me. And different pronunciation still give trouble

I have, mostly mastered pronouncing the Greek alphabet, though I occassionally mix something up. I do not understand meanings.

I fully master Chinese zhuyin phonetic. However I'm so-so matching characters with phonetics and tones. Reading for meaning is better but I mix up similarities. Writing is harder but it depends.

Japanese hiragana and katakana? ニに is all I can pronounce. 二 means 2 in Chinese and I know 2 in Japanese is ni, so I never fail to pronounce these. エオカ is also Chinese character but while I can pronounce them in Chinese, but it's a complete failure in Japanese.

Russian has some visually similar alphabet to Greek. When pronounciation is the same, no problem. Different? Like Japanese - complete failure.

Answer

I remember when we first learnt the alphabets, our teachers introduced the letters in words that we see everywhere.. similar to A - Apple, B - Ball.. you can refer to this image for Arabic letters:

Answer

I remember when I was child we memorized them from a very popular song like ABC song. Search for it. It called أب ت it's very old song.

Answer

In Arabic , we have four BASIC sounds , A I O and the silent

For example for the letter B we have

Ba Bi Bo and B ( Pronounced B , BBBBBBB ) not beee

the secondary sounds we have three from the same sounds except silence , but doubled .

we have An In On

For B it will be like

Ban Bin Bon

Examples , BAABON بَابٌ ( door ) , BAABIN بَابٍ ( door ) BAABAN بَاباً ( door )

all the letters follow this sounds.

Answer

I think you don't have to memorize it but only know how it is written and its different sound. I prefer to take every week only 4 to 6 letters, and master them. Then you can move to the next 4 to 6 letters. 
Notice that the shape of most letters change if it is written  from the beginning of the word,  the middle, or the end of the word.
