[B-Greek] "WRITE, WRITE WRITE' (was "Suggestions Please!")

While I don't disagree with those who advocate extensive reading and 
writing in Greek, may I suggest memorizing passages in Greek.
When I studied German and French, it was required to memorize long 
passages. Although that was some 55 years ago, I think I could still 
quote those passages even though I don't use those languages much anymore.
However, when I started to learn Greek 50 years ago, I had to walk 
several kilometres to church. I decided then that I should memorize the 
Gospel of John as I walked. First, I did it in English; but then I began 
in Greek. Although I memorized only a few chapters in Greek, the text is 
still with me.
Cheers,
John Barach
