Observations

  • Need to memorize the little words.
  • Need to memorize the words that force a case.
  • Numbers...struggling with when and how to decline unus, duo, & tres.
  • Personal and Demonstrative Pronouns.
  • Need more practice with getting adjectives to match in G, N, & C when it isn't obvious.
  • Reread and study Cap. V-X and beyond; solid on Cap I-IV.
  • in+Abl vs in+Acc; different meanings and when is each appropriate.
  • Sing vs Pl with Passive verbs.

NB -- subject of sentence determines sing vs pl
e.g., Saccus a Syro portatur. -- singular subject (Saccus) / singular passive voiced verb
        Sacci a Syro portantur. -- plural subject (Sacci) / plural passive voiced verb

Week of 2 February - 7 February

Got nothing done last week between day job and chest cold.

I did notice while listening to LLPSI on my commute that I have nearly complete and effortless comprehension up to about Cap X, 50%-80% from XI through IIXX, and it decreases pretty rapidly from there.

I can still pick out individual words or phrases and get the "gist" of the passage. But it's on the level of my Italian.

Carrying last week to this week:

  • VL 14,15,16, & 17. 
  • LLPSI Cap. III & IV including Exercitia and ancillary texts.
  • File application for CL2015

Stretch Goals

  • Read Cornelia
  • LLPSI through Cap V including Exercitia & ancillary texts.
17 weeks until NTRPG Con. 24 weeks until CL2015.
