. I'm not quite sure what your question is, so I'll have to make an assumption.
'Repetition' does not mean 'learn by heart'. However, repetition can be used as a way to learn something by heart. In other words, repetition can help you memorize things. . _________________ "Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power." ~ Abraham Lincoln |

'Rote learning' or 'to learn (a lesson, etc.) by rote' is another synonymous expression for 'to learn by heart'. It has a negative connotation and is far less common, though. |

the phrase "learn it by heart" is synonymous with "memorize it":
I'm going to learn this by heart. = I'm going to memorize this.
