29.05.24: Level 1; Ora Maritima [2](10); ways of learning [iv]

The image shows you the same information three times. Some people do ‘match up’ exercises or flash cards or stick them on post-it notes on the fridge. It doesn’t matter. For me:

[i] Table #1: I’m a Russian speaker and so the case names – and I’ve deliberately abbreviated them – were familiar and many of the uses match. If you haven’t dealt with a language with cases before, then those terms will mean nothing. It’s really important to see them in the context of reading which is why recent posts have focused on that.

[ii] Table #2: I doubt it will tell you much more; that’s why I sometimes mention that it’s there for reference i.e. get to grips with the cases and the endings first through practice.

[iii] Table #3: See them in context, and pick up a few short and memorable quotations on the way. Now you can see the endings at work.
