Jimmy,

My son and I spend a LOT of time on vocab drill. We drill from English to 
Latin/Greek. Sometimes we drill orally and sometimes we drill by writing, making 
sure to spell/pronounce the words correctly, including the macrons in Latin 
and the accents in Greek.

We hate that feeling of being overwhelmed! To prevent that we drill 
everything to mastery. Speaking and writing in Greek will make READING Greek seem easy 
in comparison.

Do you know about these supplements?

Sometimes we go back and repeat chapters of books. Sometimes we supplement 
with other books.

I'm not sure what pace you are setting for yourself, but I find we need to 
drill ALL the newer vocab at least 10 times before moving onto a new chapter, 
and the older stuff about 5 times. It makes it SO much slower to move through a 
textbook with so much oral and written drill but we need it.

We also search the web for all the supplements we can find and do those too. 
1/2 of our study time is drilling memory work.

Good Luck!

Hi all I have another question to help me out.
I am up to chapter 22 of Mounce's book, sometime I feel like I am giving  you 
guys a play by play of my chapters. Anyhow, I try and do a full review of  
all my voc at least twice a week, I am a bit over 90% remembrance rate. I 
notice 
it takes me longer and longer to do that, about a 1/2 hour or more now. As 
you  guys amass so much vocab do you all still review on a reg. schedule or 
just  read? Or do both? If you don't at what point do you stop, after your 
through  with first year? By the way I am doing ok, but it always feels when 
I start 
a  chapter I cannot handle anymore. I remember I felt that way, way back on 
chapter  6 :)
Grace and  Peace to You, Jimmy Montesano
