memorise all the forms in the back of Wheelock's (read all 6 entries…)

So far, I’ve learned the forms of nouns of the first, second and third declensions (although only the first two example nouns of the third). It’s a start.. quite a few more pages ahead of me to look forward to yet though, as there are still the adjectives and verbs to learn!



read the classics (read all 14 entries…)
Untitled 4 weeks ago

Wow! Just realised that I only have three books to finish, and I will have completed my ‘first set’ of ten books! (For those who don’t know, when I first added this goal I compiled a list of books and plays to read, divided into ten sets of ten—see my earlier entries.)

Now I only have Thucydides, Flaubert and Tolstoy to go. I think I’m going to allow myself to start a book from the second set as soon as I only have one book left :) (and that’s probably going to be Tolstoy as he’s so long.. :S)
