Highlights from Thurs. 8/25

Know:

the five characteristics of a Latin verb
how the infinitive is translated
how the imperative forms are translated
how the indicative forms are translated

which personal ending corresponds to which pronoun in English (-o = I, -s = you...)

When studying Latin, approach it as a skill more than a body of knowledge.
-Use as many memory systems as you can (visual, auditory) and work to develop muscle memory and long-term memory.

-Approach Latin like exercise or a musical instrument: work on it every day and try to use the language (by translating or making up sentences) rather than just reviewing the rules.

-Review new and old vocabulary at least once every day, by looking at flash cards or writing the words out.
