I recommend you simply make an alphabetic list of various Emacs commands.
You will see the correspondence between many of the commands depending on the modifier (Ctrl, Alt, Ctrl-Alt, etc.) that is used.
Listing Control then Alt (Meta) we have:
A - Beginning of Line, Beginning of Sentence;
B - Back one Character, Back one Word;
D - Delete Character, Delete Word;
E - End of Line, End of Sentence;
F - Forward one Character, Forward one Word.
and so on.
Most of the letters chosen are mnemonic so they are easy to remember.
Once you have memorised the standard Control and Alt letter combinations, plus a few more such as \, (space), and / and you will find the commands just "fit". They are "in your fingers".
They are also usable on the command-line, bash defaults to using Emacs editing commands as well.
